The artifacts and history in the museum are rich with culture and the stories depicted in the videos were very compelling.I gasped, cried and cursed (under my breath) as I thought about how my ancestors were lying in chains in close knit quarters on the slave ship. This was an unforgettable experience for me and my son.

Of all of the States I drove through on my road trip this stop had to be the most significant. Every bit of information the mainstream museums leave out about black history is here. Rather than focusing on slavery this museum celebrates black achievement also. A must visit for adults and school aged kids to counteract the negative drivel portrayed by the media.••••EACHONE•TEACHONE••••Tap on my name or icon above and scroll down to see even more locations:700+ BLACK HISTORY ICONS.320+ CELEBRITY LOCATIONS..

The APEX Museum is a great museum to view black history and the history of black people and business all along Sweet Auburn.The admission price is very reasonable and the exhibits are expertly done. The replicas are great in my opinion.Finally, there is a hall of black inventors and their inventions, along with an exhibit of black women in STEM.

Great history lessons including Atlantas Auburn Ave. Awesome tribute to women trailblazers in STEM and black inventors. Little gem of a place well worth the visit!

Staff is so helpful. Our history is amazing.

Had a nice time at the Apex Museum. The people were nice! A little small museum, but overall I enjoyed myself. And learned a lot. Thanks to the staff

Really great place. The reception and guide were great. Very interesting to hear the films on our history and the history of Auburn Avenue.

Great museum on black culture! I had the pleasure of discovering this little gem through one of the colleges that I do editorial work for that had students coming through for a road trip. Definitely worth a stop. They had a really great collection of woman in science that the students found to be a fresh breath of air as well!

On a girls trip with my mom and last minute we decided to go there. What a marvelous experience. The way was paved on the back of our ancestors. Even had a history lesson. Will definitely visit again.

Lot of history and culture can be found in the museum. Fun for all ages. The story telling portion was my favorite part.

Thank you APEX Museum for the free admission today. My family appreciated it. Happy Juneteenth!!

I stopped in here when when in Downtown. APEX Museum offers a refined, accurate insight into African history before, during and after the transatlantic slave trade. If you know nothing about African and African American history and culture, you will learn plenty. The two films shown provide an interesting reflection on Auburn Avenue. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The gift counter has some fantastic post cards. The owner has a grand vision for the future of APEX, once realised the space will be phenomenal.

The museum is very small and dated (exhibits and films seem to be from the 80s), but the information is good. My favorite parts were the replica of the slave ship hold and the old drug store. Its worth a stop if youre in the MLK Jr national site area and have an extra hour or so, but maybe not worth going out of your way to see.

Had a good time exploring the Museum and enjoyed the nights event for Black History. We should support this Museum year round. Host your events here and learn some things at the same time.

Wonderful place for children and adults. Staff was very friendly and professional.

The best museum for African culture. They take you all the way back to Egypt as our history did not begin with slavery. Theres so much information here, you can hardly take it all in with one visit. Very powerful!

Wonderful history museum...

This is a must see museum!!! Very informative,allows you to see our heritage in our own eyes. This museum is eye opening and very educational. PROUD TO BE AN AFRICAN AMERICAN!!

Great and powerful experience. From the two short videos and the tracing of our history from Africa to the Americas.

I love museum and where im from they dont really talk muxh bout salvery and what our ppl have do in the past.. So going here was awsome me and bae loved it

Loved it. Very informative. The students learned a lot of history about their ancestors.

Awesome learning experience ,the speaker Rev. Judge Penny Brown was outstanding well attended event.Great place to visit and learn.

Loads of history that really opens eyes. I will be returning again. Super friendly staff and just a great experience for people of all ages.

The staff are all well-spoken and engaging, considering what they are provided. The staff are 5-star; however, the museum could use some much needed updating and maintenance. Such an important piece of history needs to be shown in a proper environment.

My boyfriend and I visited this museum. I loved the atmosphere and learning about our African history. The staff was very friendly. We also got to take several selfies. We watched 2 10 minute videos that provided a timeline of the African history. I highly recommend this museum to anyone who wants to learn more about the African history.

I enjoy what was there, they can use more exhibits

I was impressed with learning about how African Americans started businesses on Auburn Street in downtown Atlanta in the early 1900s. The museum also had historical facts about the wealth of Africa, its Kings and Queens, forced slavery, and the many inventions of African Americans that a lot of people arent aware of. I really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who is seeking to educate themselves of real history regarding Africa and African Americans contribution to the United States.

I always look for history in any city when I travel. I just happen to be in Atlanta on MLK day, so I decided to visit the Apex museum. It was free today, look at the website for the rates and other free days. Lots of parking just keep in mind that on holidays Atl has no shame in charging $20 per car to park in downtown. I believe any other day at the Apex the fee is $7 per car. They do have good parking area with plenty of space.The museum is large but big enough to wander around and absorb some history. It actually was a great experience packed with knowledge for all. All the school systems need to bring the kids for a true history lesson. Lots of info about African American inventors, leaders, etc. They do have a video that runs at different times, the attendants will walk thru and the announcement. The museum is well organized and clean.Its well worth the stop if you are in the down town Auburn ave area. There are several other black history museums within walking distance, so keep that in mind since you will be already parked. I really enjoyed my time in Atlanta MLK weekend!Tip: If you want some good grub go visit Desta Ethiopian restaurant, its so yummy and customer service is on point. See my review on them.

Would definitely recommend visiting this museum. Serves as a great reminder of things we may have forgotten about and taken for granted, as well as learning new info to make this world and its history make a little more sense. Also, everyone was so nice!

APEX Museum is on point in keeping the true history of African people in America alive. If you are a seeker looking for the correct history of African people, then, APEX Museum is what you are looking for. Forget about American racist text book version of Black history. Knowledge is power.

Small but very informative museum! There is a section with innovations discovered by African-American people, which you cant see anywhere else! Staff is friendly and helpful.

I love this museum because of its location (heart of Atlanta) and the information provides a deep riveting experience.

Great place to visit alot of history

Introduce tbe correct version of African people in America.

Great information. Great place to visit. Amazing history.

Where the past meets the present great history lesson

Nice little museum with some great history

A very enjoyable experience and has some surprising facts you wont learn about anywhere else.

AWESOME display of the slave ships, information on prominent African Kings, & inventions by our people. Its worth the small fee to enter!

Loved the displays here and the tour was educating....

The little museum that could. Small but gives you an overview of the experience of how slavery worked and its affect on those who were forced to come here. Good to do in combination with the Center for Civil and Human Rights.

A lot of enlightenment. Travel through the accomplishments and contributions of Africans all over the world from the beginning of time.

Great experience leaning about African American history in Atlanta and the Civil Rights Movement.

Wonderful cultural experience,a must go see place when in Atlanta!!!!

A lot of history to offer , with particular Southern historic significance.

Enjoyed the tour and celebration.

A bit disappointing. I was expecting a great deal more than I got. Parking was limited. Never knew this place was here in Atlanta and I have been here almost 30 years. The short film was shown on 2 small screen one of which was lopsided and the seats were hard. But without anything else it is a must see for children. But still we rise.

This place is absolutely fascinating and is a must see if in the area. Highly recommend

AMAZING PLACE!!!! WORTH VISITING. WORTH LEARNING ABOUT. Take your cameras and an appetite for truth.

Excellent for sharing & learning African American history. Family & large party friendly. Parking was available. Budget friendly & they support military A++

I love this place. Fun educational place to take the children for a family outing. Great history about Auburn. Paid $8.00 for parking.

Small but wonderful museum. There is a lot of information packed into the space. The videos at the start of the visit offer a great overview of African American history and commerce in the area and provided perspective when looking through the other exhibits. The exhibits could use a little updating although what is there lays groundwork for reflection and encourages additional study. I highly recommend!

Took my grandkids, they loved it. Learned a lot that they did not previously know. Its a small museum, but a great introduction to our (non slavery) history.

I loved it and Im happy that black history will continue to be told old or new

Apex museum, in the auburn area of Atlanta GA. The Sunday me and my family visited was a surprise to me. The museum wasnt much to look at from the outside still it was a cultural experience I will forget. Central located off of sweet Auburn just down street from the King center. The display was very educational as well as entertaining. Not to lessen your experience it opens with a video presentation that sets the stage for a history of the African experience in Ga. This is a must see.

A must visit. So rich in history & knowledgeable staff members I was even fortunate enough to meeting the own a very Humble individual who knows how important sharing our history truly is Thank U all for everything.

Absolutely loved this place!! I think it should be a mandatory place that every goes to!!! It will change the way you view life. The owner is amazing and kind.

Awesome history and staff was wxcellent

I had a great experience at the Apex Museum. The staff are personable and super friendly. I learned a lot about the journey from Africa to America. They play 2 short films to start of the tour and the rest is self-guided. Everyone visiting or living in Atlanta should visit. It’s only $5 for military/veterans and they have a Groupon special for couples and groups! It’s also a small museum but worth the visit. They also have a gift shop.

Very informative. My daughter and I had a wonderful time at the Apex. Felix who works there on Saturdays is very knowledgeable. I work for an agency that provides homes for children in the DFCS system and will bring them to the APEX Museum in the near future.

The people are really nice, and the exhibits are full of detail. If people want to learn more about Atlanta, this is a great place to start.

The APEX Museum is located in the Sweet Auburn area of Atlanta. Sweet Auburn was an African American area in Atlanta prior to desegregation. MLK grew up in the area and the Ebenezer Baptist Church is located there as well. The APEX is small which affords an intimate experience. Staff is friendly, helpful, and personable. There are 2 short introductory films and the small museum is filled with information. I would personally recommend the APEX more than I would recommend the new museum in Washington DC!

Great place to learn and grow in our history. A reminder that our history did not begin with slavery.

Black history at its finest. Every one should visit the hidden gem in the middle of downtown Atlanta. I lot of black history right here

Me and my family visited Apex Museum 4 wks ago, which is African American MuseumIt was very educational and the information was well informed anf we did enjoy the tour.

I really enjoyed it.Staff was awesome and infomative

Great customer service, wonderful self guided tour and plenty of information available. I just wish it was a bigger facility to display ALL of our accomplishments and inventions.

Awesome museum that specifically features African American history and culture. I will definitely come back.

Fix the air and Ill boost it to a five everything else is good the history and the people are awesome and very well spoken

My wife and I took our children to the Apex Museum one Friday afternoon. Keep in mind that we visited the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute the day before and the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Birmingham the day before that. Both were great and obviously sufficiently funded.The Apex Museum is a bit dated and probably underfunded. It has been around for 40 years and has a good message. The videos they show after you pay the entrance fee have good information but technology and attention spans have changed a great deal since 1996 and 1987.The videos were presented very well by the staff member and I feel she could have conveyed the messages better than the videos did.Overall it is worth visiting if you are in Atlanta and have some extra time but by no means would I suggest driving to Atlanta for this Museum.

Rich culture beautiful history on African American inventors

The experience was enhanced by the youth group that was touring with us, demonstrating their impact on the community.

Nice Museum. I will visit often.

Wonder place to learn black history and how we started.

Its a small but powerful exhibit of black history. Staff are friendly and helpful.

First time Visit but Will Return, With my Grandson....! God Bless keep the Black History on Top.. Otha,L.

Wonderful museum. Alot of information and great staff.

Great experience. Small museum, I hope they expand.

The museum is small, but packed with quality information. I was made aware of facts about my African American history that I never knew about! I highly recommend it!

My daughter had difficulties accepting who she was as a person as our culture. I took her here. The best experience I couldve ever gave her and myself. Thank you for showing us the True KINGS AND QUEENS we are !!!

Great place to learn about black history.

Truly enjoyed it. staff very helpful and friendly. exhibits were so accurate. I highly recommend

Great history, they need a bigger/ updated facility.

This was an amazing experience and a sad 1. How slaves was tranported.

Great little museum! Cheap Groupon tickets.

Nice and good History

Great place to visit and learn about African American history. Lots of useful and informative information at this place.

It is very educational and very mind blowing experiences to my learning history about my people.

The staff was great and personable. Its my second trip and each time I learn something new about my history and ancestors journey to America.

An African American history museum. Always informative, I brought people I work with here for a field trip and they were not disappointed.

Very informative, our history creates positive growth for all of society.

I love the information I received from this great place. If you really want to enjoy yourself and bring a nice companion to tag along, a great experience is awaiting your arrival. Im a black nationalist so upon entry, my jaws dropped at how MUCH the black mass has contributed to this tyrant we call America.

It was informative and inspiring

Gives us true history

Lots of history to be learned here. The museum is not extensive nor sophisticated.

Nice experience. To be having a 40th ANNIVERSARY coming up they need to improve appearance. If you want ppl to take our story our history serious that place should be immaculate especially in ATLANTA.

Very first visit with my 10 yr old daughter. She was very impressed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and my daughter was able to explain to me afterwards what she had learned about her visit. I highly recommend taking your entire family there if your looking for something to do on a Saturday afternoon. Very affordable!

Great museum. Staff was friendly and helpful. Women in STEM exhibit was informative and inspiring.

The museum is a very good depiction of the African American Experience.

Great experience. Knowledgeable friendly staff.
