This museum was incredibly informative, and thorough. It did an excellent job of educating, and having opportunities for people of all ages.

Vibrant atmosphere that embodies the museums mission to serve as a resource educating visitors on the complex facets of the African American accomplishments and history as an American experience.

The worker there was inviting and helpful, asking if me and my husband have been there before. The exhibits were amazing as well. We are definently planning on going back again this year.

Amazing experience. Learned about never quitting no matter the odds stacked against you! Something everyone should see and enjoy!

Lots of impactful information about African Americans. There was so much information about how Iowa and African American culture that was very engaging. The hair exhibit brought back a lot of memories! I liked how interactive it is and will be returning to learn more. Staff is amazing. They will take time to tell you about the museum as well as inform you on new events. I highly recommend a visit.

Entrance is $6 but there is a student discount for high school ages. I thought it would be all sad things, but it actually was a perfect mix of things to make you smile and others which made you truly think of the history and significance of black people in the US. Would definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful experience with my cousin and aunts at the museum.

Wonderful museum showing important history, great exhibits and friendly and welcoming staff. A great place to visit!

I believe everyone can learn something from this museum about human history. General admission is affordable and the staff are very nice.

Small but mighty. So much black history in Iowa. Had no idea. Definitely worth checking out.

Very educational and great idea for anytime of the year. Not just black history month.

This is an important landmark within Iowa for better understanding its history of African American life and contributions. While not a large museum, it has a design that is highly conducive to reflection and offers a wealth of historical stories that need to be heard. It is also a great place to take families, as children need to be thoughtfully educated not only about African American oppression, but also the achievements and inherent value that its people have and do offer to society.

My husband and I are from Florida, but were in Iowa temporarily for training and we decided to stop by the African American Museum. It was the highlight of our time there! Very well kept facility, & so much information on African American history & culture that youll probably never find in any textbook. We loved it.

For a small town the collection and history is amazing. Also I was with my. 8 year oldGrandson and to see things through his eyes was a priceless moment

Very well done I learned quite a bit about Iowas African American American History.

This is a great place! Super friendly staff and the exhibits are well researched and relevant to Iowa. I learned some amazing things about the history of civil rights in Iowa. There were several stories about committed, persistent and righteous women and men who shaped the history of the state. We are living in their legacy! Go see and be inspired, educated and celebrated!

This is an extraordinary museum for the little known and underappreciated contributions of African American arrival and achievements to Iowa. The curators have done a wonderful job in the permanent display(re-done a couple of times since the museum had opened) and the temporary exhibits-sometimes in cooperation with other AA museums ) are usually well done and always of interest to historians and students of culture and race in America.

Very thought provoking museum

A lot of very powerful information, stories and history. Would go again just to have a bit more time to read what I had to skip due to no having enough time before closing

The staff were polite and knowledgeable. I think this museum was a great representation of African American history in Iowa and also the United States. Well worth the time!

Wonderful museum! It showcases the long history of African-Americans in Iowa. It is also pushes you to think and reflect. I highly recommend it.

Everyone should spend time here, have a membership and would be lucky for a chance to get to know the fabulous Executive Director!

Love ths place ,makes me mad that alot of ppl dnt go here

This was a wonderful experience and I learned things specifically about Iowa as a state that were very impressive. The museum was very well laid out, it delayed the history and stories of those times so well.

Very informative information on the African Americans in Iowa as far back as the 1850s.

Lots of great conversation at an event. Over a book that everyone loved!

Very interesting and nice to have this quality of museum in CR

I went here for a school paper. I was very impressed with my whole experience. The building was very nice and clean. The staff was very nice and informative. The exhibits were very interesting as well!

The children enjoyed the visit. Very friendly staff.

Very good jazz music, my girlfriend and I enjoyed the entire experience.

What a wonderful gem of a museum. Small but mighty and I learned so much about the history of African Americans in Iowa!

This place is a source of both nourishment for ones soul as well as life sustaining revitalization of the earthly body that contains it.

I really enjoyed the museum. I will definitely be going there again. This was my 2nd time & I still could go through it again and enjoy.

Really informative speaker about history of Cedar Rapids. Enjoyed Junteenth celebration. Love new book exchange mini-museum box! Friendly & welcoming

Lots of great information about the Contributions of African Americans in Iowa throughout Iowas history!

Great overview of African American history from the state of Iowa. In the process of returning after a flood. Though similar to many other musuems of history it was refreshing that it shared the rich history of their civil rights leaders

Learned a lot from the permanent and changing exhibits

Nice little museum with some interactive exhibits. Get your picture taken via green screen. Definitely educational. You are encouraged to donate (I did) but you do not have to.

Had a company function here. Very clean and organized.

Excellent presentation in a very comfortable space!

Glad we have this jewel of a resource in our community! Its a rich source of information and history that makes me proud (in almost all cases) to be an Iowa Transplant. Thank You to all the volunteers, supporters, and anyone who helps the African American Museum of Iowas growth!

Great place, exhibits laid out nicely. Great for the family or for a date, to learn about African American History. Please visit when you have time. Other reviews said they were bored at the Museum, dont believe them, if you pay attention and read you will have a tremendous time.

Great Place to visit and learn the real history of American Black every day and leaders. You can become a memeber to help spread Iowas history and its Black people.

Everyone should go here! What an Iowa gem. I am so thankful to have this wonderful museum commemorating historic and contemperary African American culture and experiences, something often ignored in Iowa and throughout the US. I visit reguulalry and love it every time. Has both great permenent and rotating exhibits.

Excellent, beautiful, well done

Nice place. Good to have a place devoted to this history.

Really brought to life the history of Africa Americans

They barely have any artifacts. The tour guide was kind of rude and got smart with me and my group.

Wonderful place to spend some time. Loved it

I only attended a lecture. Will have to return for the museum itself.

Just okay, I wouldnt recommend this place. Very small and sad looking.

Museum is beautiful and big thanks to Felicite Wolf..

Wonderful museum...worth visiting.

Learned a lot about my home state of Iowa!

Eager to return and learn more

Very good place to go.

Great museum with great information, truly a gem in this area!

Well worth it!!

Yes and more yes

Enjoyed the jazz music

Went to vote here nice place

Always educational and fun!

If you want to be bored to tears this is the place to go. People should be paid to go.
