Nice and informative museum. They currently have timed entry due to covid. You can purchase ticket online. They have a parking lot reserved for this museum right adjacent to the museum.They checked temperature before entering the museum.In the beginning they played an 8 minutes long video.I loved the letter that Dr. MLK wrote from Birmingham jail.There are lots of videos.

Very well done without being too overwhelming!

Wow! A great historical trip through the Civil rights era.

Very informative and important look at the history of the civil rights movement in Birmingham and the country, especially in these troubling times. Employees at front were helpful and well informed.Note that you must wear a mask at all time and tickets must be purchased online in advance.

They checked my temperature & allowed me to enter a few minutes earlier than my timed entry ticket. Such an informative and well thought out presentation. You start by watching an 8 minute introductory video that sets the stage for what one is about to experience at the institute. There is an unbearable image during the short film, so be warned. I shed countless tears and the images that I found especially painful to bear were the shoes of one of the little girls who perished in the 16th St Baptist Church bombing, and the white hooded klansman robe (as I walked into the part of the museum where this was it caught me off guard and my immediate reaction was to step back, then turn my face away. Likewise any pictures of lynchings I tried my best to avoid looking at.On a much lighter note, I particularly enjoyed the juke box were you can select a song (it only plays about 30 seconds) and the portraits of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with his wife, Mrs. Coretta Scott King, theres one of a beautiful young girl playing violin.Special thanks for staff members: Michelle at the entrance who gave me the initial intro of how my self guided tour would work, Noah, the student affiliated with EJI who explained to me about the signage on one of the exhibits displaying segregation, and also to Mr. Oliver Harper, the gentleman who allowed me to enter the intro screening room (he had a bottle of disinfectant cleanser in hand as the video ended) and gave me the warmest smile.

Brought my family. Telling them about history is one thing but being able to show them makes a huge difference. I really appreciate this center for preserving this portion of history. It was definitely worth the trio from Atlanta.

So powerful. Be careful when bringing younger children though. When I asked about the eight-minute intro video and if it was okay for a young child, the staff member told me it was, and that there wasn’t anything like a cross burning. There was actually a cross burning, and there was a much more disturbing scene than that. The museum is incredible, especially with the white, plaster figures bringing some elements of the story into stark relief.

Very informative. The people working there were so helpful and informative.

Good discounts. Well planned out exhibitions.

It really is a must visit place. A good level set on the historical significance of Birmingham to the country and to the wider civil rights movement. It can be upsetting at times but necessary. Its across the street from the 16th Street Baptist Church where the four little girls were killed and also across the street from a park with historical monuments. In todays times its even more important to revisit our recent and living past.

Beautiful depiction of the progress made and the progress yet to made in regards to civil rights of black people and those also marginalized. This place has so much to see youd be best served to give yourself at least 3 hours to carefully look over everything the museum has to offer. Be sure to check out the gift shop to for great literature. The is also a park across the street and a historic church across the street were the infamous bombing took place that killed 3 young girls during the civil right movement.

Wonderfully exhibited!!! I enjoy learning new things about historical events and this is definitely a must see for different ages & races.

It was very informative. It appears to be run by African American people, but the vibe was not about hate...it was more about real history. I really liked it.

This was a very well thought out museum for sure. Everything has a meaning there. Lots of stories from people that experienced the Civil Rights movement. It really opens your eyes to the segregation that they had to suffer through. One of the nicest museums that I have ever been to.

The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is nothing short of amazing! I drove from Atlanta with my 10 year old son so that we could spend the day learning about our history and the brave men and women of Birmingham. We were both blown away at the many original artifacts that are available for all to see. You begin watching a short 8 min video providing background info of the civil rights movement in Birmingham. After the video youre allowed to go on a self guided tour throughout the museum. There are lots of very helpful staff members walking around readily available to bring insight or answer any questions you may have. Youre allowed to take pictures of the exhibits, but no videos. The cost to get in is $5 for children and $15 dollars for adults. If youre a female and want to bring a purse be sure to bring a small purse as large purses are not allowed. They offer lockers for only $1 should you decide to lock up your purse or belongings. (Cash only) After paying you will give them your drivers license and in exchange theyll give you a key for your locker. After touring the museum you can walk across the street to the park where many civil rights demonstrations took place. Here you will find statues that you can simply press a button and hear all about each individual involved in the movement. Finally, you can visit the gift shop for tons of books, movies, apparel etc. Overall, I highly recommend this museum!

This place is absolutely wonderful. I think every child should visit to gain knowledge of the civil rights movement. This is a magnificent place and was very well thought out. This was a very emotional experience for me. I am so thankful that God and other leaders has helped us come along way. The best and most touching museum I have encountered

Such an AWESOME museum! This museum starts off with an experience. (I dont want to spoil anything.)The layout of the artifacts and signage are perfect for a self tour. Along with the height for shorter individuals. For those who like to live the moment over education, theres a great sense of how times where during the era. For those who want the education aspects, there is no holding back, plenty of information. I wanted to read everything, took me 2 hours to see the first half at a leisure pace. The routes of the self tour are pretty linear, so for those busy times or busy families, its easy to find your group of people. The staff are very nice! As standard museum rules apply, the staff are very friendly to help with any misunderstandings, i.e leave big bags at home or in a locker! Every corner you turn in the museum can give you a Wow moment.

First place to visit in Birmingham. It’s really a good idea to present how residents of this city got their rights.

Not a good experience....Rude staff...If you look at the reviews I think its a very telling that they never respond to the comments about their staffs rediculious and imnapropirate behavior. They only respond to tell someone how THRYare wrong or what THEY should do differentlyWhen employees have bad attitudes and are aggressive its because its its tolerated and accomidated and it goes all the way to the top.Rather than telling customers how they should behave look at finding new people to run the place...the customers who you refuse to side with the many customers you recuse to side with wont be back....The hospitality in this museum is not far removed from that of the Woolworths lunch counters....little has been learned.

This is a remarkable place. It really shows how unfairly people of color were treated. It was very well done. You could easily spend all day here. A must do if you are in the Birmingham area.

This is a great experience for the whole family to enjoy together.

Very well done! Great explanation of civil rights movement / human rights. Such an important thing for people to brush up on and know about. Nice facilities

I LOVED the Civil Rights Institute!! Educational, emotional, and a sense of hope for equal civil rights and treatment for ALL people in the United States. Each person has a journey and a story. Take a moment to step out of your story/life and embrace the story, journey, and fight for equal treatment and rights. Keep a growth mindset throughout the experience. I am so grateful for the opportunity to experience this amazing National Monument. I ended up spending over 3 and a half hours reading, gathering information, and experiencing emotions over the injustices which my fellow humans faced.

Was thoroughly impressed by the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. It is the right size for a museum trip, well laid-out, with a mixture of writing, audio/visual, and artifacts. Id say 90 minutes to two hours is what you need. You will be inspired by some elements and cry because of others. People of any age will learn from the Institute, and it would be a great trip for students, families, or vacation travelers. The museum does an excellent job of telling the story of civil rights in America, in Alabama, and specifically in Birmingham. I found it powerful and also found that I gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the city.

Very informative and well kept part of history. Very inexpensive and it doesn’t take up the entire day to go around. We were satisfied within 2 hours of visit. Highly recommend this place.

People from all over and other countries should come here to understand and better appreciate why they are able to enjoy basic human rights, and why the USA is such a desirable immigrant destination. Paved with the blood and sweat of Black Americans

Powerful, moving, everyone who has an opportunity should visit and feel the spirit of change offered here.

First point to make: Be aware that the vast majority of the negative reviews come from people with a political axe to grind (controversy over Angela Davis having recognition rescinded, which has now been resolved). Its the kind of activity that really has nothing to do with the venue itself.The Institute itself is well-organized, informative, moving and (for better or worse) quite extensive. There are sections on the Freedom Riders, the history of integration in public accommodations, etc., many with original video footage and countless interesting photographs.One small quibble is that some of the exhibits are accompanied by plaques and other descriptive panels that are a bit hard to read, either due to lighting or very small text.Our experience was overall very positive, and I would recommend this as a great place to see a comprehensive overview of the civil rights movement in the U.S..

Good museum to see and understand the issues our country faced and continues to struggle with. I thought the museum did a particularly good job of weaving in the Birmingham Civil Rights story with the broader Civil Rights Movement in the rest of the country.

If you want to understand the importance of the part played by the freedom fighters, then a visit to Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is essential. It starts with a short film and then introduces you to the injustices practised under segregation. Through film and audio, you are shown how Birmingham’s black community used peaceful tactics to free themselves from the bonds of segregation and you are introduced to hero and heroines who played a part. I was left emotional but inspired. A particular highlight was the letter written by Martin Luther King from Birmingham jail. Do read in full.

A great museum. Worth the trip. We visited on Sunday and then on Monday took a civil rights tour.Please note the museum is closed on Monday.

So many different emotions while having the privilege of exploring a piece of Birminghams history. I love the fact this museum was able to capture and preserve so many triumphs. You can see many of the places mentioned throughout the city which feels like an extension of the museums exhibits.

Really fun and educational but really long and hot inside.

Great museum, lots of really bring it homes visual aids alongside movie and sound clips throughout. A very interactive kind of experience that brings up lots of emotions for what people had to go through for their rights. Would recommend.

My friend and I stopped in the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute on a Saturday afternoon. The building also houses the Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument, a branch of the National Parks Service. The museum is laid out well in a linear fashion. It starts out with a short video of about the history of Birmingham. The museum features numerous displays featuring various moments in Birmingham’s history in relation to the civil rights movement.

The museum and exhibits were amazing and educational. It was a touching experience to share with my 9 year old daughters.We were there on a field trip with our school. The children are 4th graders in Huntsville. Unfortunately, from the second we stepped onto the property we felt as if we were a bother. The staff and unrealistic expectations for a group of 200 9 year olds. There werent any other visitors that I could tell in the exhibit with us. The security guards shouted and were down right ugly to kids that were literally doing nothing wrong. We felt rushed out. It was clear that we were unwelcome. I do not think this is a place for children or field trips. They clearly were Ill equipped to handle children.

The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is an amazing experience. The curation of the museum is amazing and walks you through a journey of the civil rights movement. The first part depicts the differences of segregation and puts you in a place to understand how unfair segregation is. The next portion walks you through the history of the civil rights movement, highlighting the leaders and all the citizens who organized together in peaceful protest. In the end you see how civil rights is still a struggle in other parts of the world.

Superb. If youre anywhere near Birmingham, this is not to be missed. If only every man, woman and child in America could visit this museum, the country would be better for it. To see events and a movement captured under one roof in this manner is not only highly educational but also moving. It helps bring the community of humankind closer together.

While I could not today begin to understand living in those conditions, I am thankful that I had the experience of the Civil Rights Institute today. In the timeline of our country, these events are very recent. There are men and women today who were a part of this brave movement. I am thankful that they took the actions they did to bring the expectations that we have today.Be sure to take time to visit the Civil Rights Institute if you are in Birmingham. It is important to understand and remember the past so that we do not make the same mistakes again.

This is a beautifully designed and curated museum. I broke down and cried when I saw the exhibit devoted to the girls who were killed in the 16th St Baptist Church bombing. This site is a must-see for our moral reckoning with our national history.

A painful look at our history, this museum doesnt pull punches. My only issue is that the video at the beginning paints race with broad strokes (whites were bad to blacks), and that can give a sense of over-simplification to a very complicated issue. Other than that, the museum is a must-see stop.

This museum is nice, it gives you a view of what happened in Birmingham through history. Make sure you take a walk through Kelly Ingram park and let one of the locals tell you more about the events that went on in the park and let them tell you the whole story of what happened. To back in history is a goid reminder, that the more things change, the more they stay the same...some highlights. On sundays, price if ticket is by donation and parking is free on Sundays.

The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is actively working to suppress the civil rights of Palestinians by publicly disavowing Angela Davis for supporting Palestinian rights. This makes the organization an active accomplice in one of the biggest civil rights issues of our time. Lend your support elsewhere if you are serious about civil rights.

I thought this museum was a tool to educate the public on the history of the Civil Rights Movement? Now, those on the Board secretly votes to rescind the recognition ceremony of a Civil Rights icon? Why, because Ms. Davis speaks out against the Apartheid acts of the Israeli government? Those that dedicated their lives fighting for equal rights must be “ rolling over in their graves.”

I learned about Fred Shuttlesworth. Im always amazed at what a difference a few people can make to better the lives of many.The civil rights timeline comparing Birmingham to the Federal govt was an eye opener. Another example of how individuals, locals, activist truly can make a difference and shape the Federal govt, rather than top down.

1/9/19 Angela Davis deserves more. I wont be visiting or spending money here. I would advise all people with any intelligence to avoid this facility. Boycott.We shall rise.I wouldnt recommend.

Powerfully moving exhibits on a dark party of our history. Everyone should view it so we dont forget and repeat our mistakes.

I am Sure this is a great museum but I was Highly disappointed today when we came for a field trip. We watched the short film and after the screen when up the kids were rushed through the museum with no time to take in the exhibits. What should have taken at least an hour to go through took maybe 20 min. There were no tour guides and the ones I did See seemed to be highly disorganized. It’s a shame because this was such a huge time in our history and there was lots to learn. I would Highly recommend going to the 16th Street Baptist Church next door to learn the history there.

Must visit when in Birmingham . Very well done , tells the very sad but true story of how this country can be the great experiment but be afraid of any change. Our leadership at both the state and federal level has failed us. Just look at congress and the office of the president. What a shame we have a racist in the white house. We need the power to be people. Let us vote on guns, womans rights etc.

Very racially sensitive. I am embarrassed for my nation after visiting this institute for $15. The displays were very sturdy. Includes a Klan uniform. Creepiest robe ever. The self-tour took roughly 90 minutes. Healthy population of visitors. Expect indoor plumbing.

Moving and informative

I am glad that Birmingham Civil Rights Institute reaffirmed Award for Angela Davis the profound human rights activist!Her support of Palestinian human rights is a noteworthy trend.There are 24 UN resolutions condemning israeli crimes, but some provocative Zionist groups try to stop human rights activities in Palestine and around the world.I am glad that the public opinion and the common sense won this time over human rights enemies.

Its a very great and detailed museum. The staff is nice and was accommodating to our large tour group. The only thing that I found odd/discomforting was that I didnt see anything written about the Black Panther movement, and the only thing I saw written about Malcolm X was a couple plaques about his death. It seems weird to me that a Civil Rights museum didnt include a comprehensive overview of the ENTIRE movement. It made the whole experience feel sensored.

Ive been living in Bham, AL for 19 years and this is my first time here. My kids and I had a great time. We shall return again soon!!! Thanks for the friendly gestures. MLK Day 2019

I wasn’t impressed.... I was so excited to travel from Louisville KY to see all that was offered at this museum. And I was left disappointed and let down. I felt because there was so much that happened in history pertaining to the Civil Rights Movement in Birmingham that I was going to learn and feel the struggle of the past. And the gift shop was a total let down also. There needed to be more to offer like book bags, varieties of sweat shirts, keychains , etc.

James is very rude he didn’t give us the vibe we needed. He Need To Boss His Life Up & Speak W A Level 1 Voice & Not At A 10 . I Think He Need To Get Retrained As A Security Because he Jus A Bad Doing Security That Not Getting paid For More then $10 to be screaming. No Badge ? He Couldn’t Even Give Us His Name. He Couldn’t even dap us up We ALL BLACK So treat us like yo kind period. Btw He a fake Security

Knowledge of untold history in schools which is very important.

Well on my visit from Orlando fl to this museum. JAMES a black worker at this museum was VERY RUDE , VERRY ARROGANT , VERY PUSHY about everything he yelled on the top of his lungs about moving forward in the museum and not taking pictures with a “flash” ofc it’s their rules we have to follow but deliverance is EVERYTHING! we are standing next to each other no need to yell . He then proceeded as “he was security and it’s his way or no way.” He wouldn’t give us his name at first ! Attitude just RIDICULOUS! Then he asked a Caucasian lady to be his witness to everything that just happened right in front of us . I wouldn’t recommend this museum to ANYBODY colored

Very moving! Great presentation, clean, and informative. I took an 8 year old that I babysit, who didnt have much prior Civil Rights Movement knowledge. The museum had her engaged, asking questions, and learning about the time. I would like to give a heads up that the movie presentation prior to entering the museum uses the n word a few times. Had I known beforehand, I would have been able to ask her parents either how to explain the context, or to have them discuss this with her before.

Interesting exhibit about the segregated South before 1950; however the main Civil Rights Movement portion of the museum unfortunately is made up of mainly long blocks of text about particular incidents and cluttered timelines, stopping suddenly in 1965 when segregation largely ended in Birmingham itself. IMHO it doesnt do much to help you see the big picture of this important movement and the movements it inspired. At 15 dollars you might be better off just buying a book on the subject.

Refusing to honor Angela Davis make BCRI a shameful institute to civil right. You better shut down. Birmingham deserve better representative than a bunch of bigots.

Excellent introductory video followed by self-guided exhibits showing a complete civil rights history of both the US and Alabama. Many special events specific to Birmingham were shown. The overlook to the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church was well done.

James DSI the security guard was very disrespectful to our group and we came all the way from orlando fl to enjoy alabama and this museum was the only reason we came to Birmingham. We came to learn about this topics more and understand black history and the civil rights movement but this museum ruined our whole trip. The security guard decided that our group of 33 was louder than the other groups of 50-100 kids.DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS MUSEUM

Really interesting museum thick with history and dense with information . The staff is super friendly and informative. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time because you can be there for a while.

Thank for sharing

The Reality of History In One Place!!! I Love It!!!

The security guard names James was being very dispectful dont know how to treat guest. He was yelling at us for no reason even when the adults were asking what was the problem he still was being very dispectful so if yall dont do something about there wont be as much people coming to this museum in the future.

You have to visit if your passing through. The information was astonishing and not something you learn in these days.

Absolutely disgusting how this organization treated Ms. Davis. How do you let outside groups determine who your heros are? Cowards!

To rescind the Award to an icon of the civil rights Angels Davis because she calls attention to human rights violations is disgraceful. When you distance yourself from someone like her you betray your charter. Explain yourselves!!

The Institute shows its anti Arab, anti free speech, anti Black bias by removing the honor from Angela Davis. A real set back for civil rights demonstrated by the Board.

I would have give this place a minus zero. Most of the walls and doors and elevator are nasty and the bathrooms did not look appealing and look dirty. There is not a trash can to place sanitary napkins or tampons.This is a historic place and people that work there should take pride and go the extra mile to clean and redo the floors and do cleaning. The workers that work there are absolutely polite and nice and have an awesome attitude. But the place needs a makeover. Maybe the institute can write a letter to the major to help with funds to clean and to renovate elevator floors and clean metal handles and renovate bathrooms. I hope the institute makes a change. Because this is historic and not a dumpI was so sad when a left seeing how that place is not sparkling.

1 star based on the fact that a self-proclaimed institution of civil rights sucumbs to pressure by oppressors of the rights of others. It’s truly a testimate to the lack of civil rights awareness and honor that they take away their award from Angela Davis for calling out zionist Jewish aggression by the terror state of israel for what it is: murder, theft of land / culture, and oppression. They have revoked their privilege to be called an institution of civil rights after refusing a civil rights symbol and leader. Or, as Professor David put it so eloquently herself, the actions of this so called civil rights insituation are “not primarily an attack against me, but rather against the very spirit of the indivisibility of justice.”

A very unique and dramatic experience. This was my first visit but surely not my last. The layout of the exhibits gives you a very deeply and passionately life changing world

What a wonderful and sobering experience. Very thorough coverage of the fight for civil rights and racial equality. They even end the museum with monuments to other fights for equality around the world. This information was laid out in a very engaging and thought-provoking manner.We took our 9 and 7 year olds because we felt it was very important for them to see videos and pictures of these injustices. It is not attention holding for younger children, though our children were troopers as they realized the importance of it. They were bored periodically throughout the museum but we went into the museum aware of this.This place is a Birmingham must!

I am disappointed to hear that BCRI is siding with a hit peice from the Southern Jewish to not honor Miss Angela Davis, it is extremely bothersome that the BCRI whom pride themselves in civil rights would look the other way in the principle and fundemantal meaning of Boycott Divest Israel. It is in no way alienating Israel as a whole - but it’s oppressive government. This has nothing to do with the Jewish Israeli people but policies and tactics the Israeli government has used to oppress Palestinians. BCRI should be ashamed in its decision.

The security guards were very rude and disrespectful to our group. James was specifically most disrespectful. Im just in middle school but they were yelling at us and being disrespectful. We came to Birmingham stop specifically visit this museum but after how I have been treated I wouldnt ever want to come back.

A group of my church youth and I visited this amazing place along with the 16th Street Baptist Church. This area is a place you must see in Birmingham. Also, Freedom Park is across the street. Bring some Kleenex please, you will definitely shed tears. A seriously life changing experience.

This is a most excellent institute to visit. It is all related to the civil Rights movement. This history though painful should be discuss and known. This nation needs reconciliation and for this there must be a formal request for forgiveness to those undermined and mistreated by a race that it is not superior but of the same origin-Adam was created by God and so it is for the entire human race.

The museum itself was probably the best civil rights museum my wife and I have been to. The park was beautiful as well. Major complaint - could not walk more than 10 feet without getting agressively panhandled in the park. The no panhandling park rule is not enforced

It was small and quiet no thuggary

The services was horrible. the security guards are very disrespectful especially DSI James, they have no respect for a person. as a black young lady from Florida i feel very disrespected for him to speak to us young black people this way. James is very rude, he needs to fix his attitude before speaking to kids like that.

This place is horrible they are so disrespectful......we came from Orlando to learn history........They well raise there voice at you.....I dont encourage yall to come to this museum.......They well Yell and be so disrespectful to kids and even adults........They got no manners to anyone.......They think that they can control you just because they are security and they work there.......you are not suppose to get treated like in no kind of way.........This is an Horrible place.......If I could give them 0 star I would or even an half star.......They would laugh and talk trash about you........They would make everything a big deal......This place is horrible do not come to this place they are so disrespectful........The tour was good dont get it twiste but the staff they are so disrespectful.......There are like only 2 good staff but the rest are disrespectful

The security guard named James is very disrespectful. He needs to do his job, stay in his place as a security . He was doing the most and need to tighten up.

Excellent experience that shows the struggles African Americans overcame and the progress that has been made

So much history packed into the tour. Interactive exhibits to keep children busy. The museum has a lot to show. My family really enjoyed our Sunday afternoon.

Its saddening to learn that a civil rights institute would rescind an award, because the individual planned to receive it supports civil rights for the wrong country. Right are for everyone.

Very nice museum. Informative exhibits. Did the self guided tour.

Great time! Security officer was very knowledgeable and animated you could tell he loved showing others the history. No pictures allowed inside only thing but still very much worth it

Definitely worth the experience! Its adjacent to church of the four black girls bombing. Its educational and sensational!

Should have an exhibit showing the cities fascist, anti-White practices of covering historical monuments. We say White folks dont have civil rights! !!!

Its shameful what they did to Angela Davis and a reflection of poor moral judgement by their Board of Directors to rescind her award. Not an organization I would endorse until it reverses course.

A history presented in well crafted display. It will bring tears to your eyes. Very emotional experience.

Self guided, variety of personal stories, national events, art, family life. Good all around experience. Fun and energetic staff.

JAMES IS THE RUDEST DSI THERE IS HERE AT THE CIVIL RIGHTS MUSEUM HE IS RUDE AND PUSHY HE TALKS AGGRESSIVELY WITH A LOUD TONE AND USES VERY DISTINCT LANGUAGE HE HAS RUINED THE EXPERIENCE FOR ME AS A YOUNG BLACK LADY TO EDUCATE MYSELF ABOUT HISTORY THAT I FEEL IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND MY FAMILY !!!!

A heart-wrenching but beautiful and ultimately necessary tribute to what our city (and our country) went through to give the same rights to Black Americans that are given to caucasians, something that was long overdue. The museum is incredibly interactive and immersive, and one leaves feeling horrified at what has occurred, but also hopeful at what can be accomplished if enough people work toward a movement.

OMG what a treasure. As a foreigner in this country, this museum is a must on your to do list. It is sensitive towards all the events the occured in the 60s and that have forged todays society, not only in Bham but in the whole country.

An organization such as this deserves neither your time nor money.

Incredible historical journey through the civil rights movement, national and local. The displays are laid out with care and attention to detail. You must go; take your children
