I havent even been inside yet as it was closed when I was in the area. But just walking around the outside of the building and peeking in the windows you can feel the history and the significance of the area. Spend some time checking out the monuments and plaques outside the museum.

This is an extraordinary museum.The staff and the tour guide couldn’t have been more helpful or better informed on the history of this important site in civil rights history or its role in the larger civil rights movement.The multi-media exhibitions really illustrate the history and its connection to the moment we are living in now.Standing in front of the original lunch counter takes your breath away.An extremely important landmark. Visit it!

Great place to learn about the history of our country. My eyes were opened to a lot of things that occurred in history that i simply never heard of. Our tour guide Darren was awesome, huge thank you and shout out to him! Make time to come here at some point. You won’t regret it.

Excellent tour guides who are passionate about explaining the historical struggle for civil rights in the United States, particularly the South. Educational journey explains the context and the aftermath of the Greensboro sit-in in 1960 and the impact on the bigger movement. Photography is restricted and limited inside, so bear that in mind. Groups can be large but guides do all they can to accommodate large tours. Highly recommend.

One of the most powerful and evocative museums. Sadly, in 2020 little systemic change. Clearly allows you to better understand Louisville Kenosha, Ferguson and on and on...The fight must go forward.

The experience was phenomenal. Though other people in their reviews complained about how strict the gum policy was it was made clear to us that the reason this was is because people have left gum on pieces of the exhibits and we were more than happy to abide by the rule.I was at the Museum as a part of our schools Diversity Alliance Club and it was an overall amazing experienceThe tour was full of information and information that isn’t taught to students in schools because of the graphic nature of the content. From start to finish you are walked through the history of the civil rights movements as well as prominent figures of the movement, with a great emphasis on the A&T Four. You get the chance to see the Woolworths Diner and the counters in which they say at, which we’re beautifully preserved. From the moment you step into the diner area it is as if you have walked back in time, a truly unique experience! The other areas of the museum provide information of the struggles faced by civil rights leaders as well as the kinds of things black people had to face.They museum covers topics such as lynchings, bombings that occurred to churches etc, the KKK and the kinds of things they would do, Emmet Till, the A&T Four, Segregation and the kinds of experiences faced by black people during segregated times, Integration of black people into white schools, Black Face, the importance of churches within the black communities, the March on Washington, a beautiful memorial, info on The Jim Crow laws, voting, and other revolutionary changes that occurred within the state of North Carolina and the significance of those victories for the black community.The tour guide was a female who was extremely kind and truly helped us understand the material and content of which we were seeing and provided us with and overall great experience. She had us glued and eager to hear every word she said and the impact was even greater. She was kind, courteous, and respectful and again provided us with a great experience.There is a portion at the beginning which is rather graphic in terms of the content it shows but we were told if we did not feel comfortable or felt unable to see such things that it was okay and we could move on to the next portion of the exhibit if need be. Honestly seeing the images provided us with a deeper and more personal understanding of the suffering and experiences faced by the black community, it was the content not taught in school because of how graphic it is but thanks to that portion of the exhibit what we heard about finally came full circle and gave us a better understand of the history we learned.

We had an incredible experience at the museum! Every second of the tour with Sage (sp?) was memorable. She was an amazing tour guide and walked us through with passion, accuracy, and hope for the uncertain future. This is one for the memory banks! I highly recommend going and then going again. It is a part of history we should all remember.

Came here around noon, and it was $15 for a guided tour ($17 with no guide). This place is everything it needs to be. Be prepared for some shocking pictures at the beginning, if you are unfamiliar with the facts. I was in tour with both Darren and Robin, both amazing. They presented us not only with facts, but with an honest experience and heartfelt anecdotes and stories. All in all, informative, beautiful & emotional.

We arrived at the museum at 5:00, an hour before closing. I asked the guy working at the counter if we were going to have enough time to experience the museum. He never answered my question but seemed to be more concerned about the fact that a guided tour had just started and we had missed it. We were fine with touring the museum on our own. However, after we paid he said we could take pictures of the counter but not the exhibits because they did not own the rights. He proceeded to walk us to the counter to join the group but told us not to bang on the round table (huh?). We joined the group initially but decided to break away and tour on our own. At the end of the tour we were approached by the guy from the counter. In a very nasty voice he was accusing us of taking pictures of the exhibits. He said he wished they could afford more security guards throughout the museum. I told him he was very rude for basically chasing us down and that he was rude when we arrived as well. I told him he was not welcoming and that I would never come back to the museum as long as he was working there. It is a shame that we were at a Civil Rights museum but treated so poorly by the people who work there.

Seeing the lunch counter where those brave folks stood up to injustice was a privilege. I have heard about this place all my life and to be able to visit this location was wonderful. It’s an absolute must-see if you are in this area. Gratifying to see a turning point in American history up close.

Excellent civil rights museum. The exhibits were real, yes there are pictures and stories that are hard to see/hear but that is the civil rights story. If you want to hear what people of color endured, this is the place to do it! Admission was reasonable and it is wheelchair friendly. Our guide, Marcus, was great!

I came from out of town to visit this museum on December 28, but the female tour guide with the long braids made this a very unpleasant experience for me and my two daughters. We were initially briefed by the male at the counter that no food, gum, or drinks were allowed inside the museum. At this point, both of my daughter got rid of their gum. However, when this tour guide briefed the rules of the tour she mentioned that no gum was allowed and stopped for at least 15 seconds after saying this to literally stare at my youngest daughter as if she had gum in her mouth. She then went on to say that there were cameras inside the exhibits and if anyone was caught chewing gum they would be thrown out immediately. I thought that this was a bit over the top, rude, unnecessary, and unprofessional. This tour guide was very passionate over chewing gum because she mentioned it once again when we were inside the first exhibit. I understand wanting to preserve the pictures, but not to the extent of being rude and unprofessional. Focus more on getting the facts correct, particularly those about current military policies. The tour itself was not what I expected. Most of the exhibits were pictures and facts that could easily be found on the internet. The original lunch counter was the only thing worth seeing, but with such a rude employee it was not worth two hours of my time. My advice for the tour guide, focus more on the facts and less on acting like the gum police. This situation could have been easily resolved had she came to me directly about the gum that did not exist.

A must see museum for all Americans. I learned so much about my countrys past that often cannot be experienced outside a museum like this. An excellent guide, Robin, took our large group through time with details and emotion that cannot be reflected in a signpost next to a display. Well worth the visit.

Our tour guides were excellent masters of the genre and extremely compassionate in their recitation of the events during a dark period in our history. They not only imparted the facts but gave us a look into the lives of the people behind the planning and execution of the sit-ins and marches. Thank you.

We visited the museum on a weekend and did the guided tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. It was very interesting to learn about the deep African American history here in Greensboro NC and how it was such a major part of the civil rights movement. There was a option to do the self guided tour but I would recommend the guided tour. Cell phones are not allowed while touring but pictures can be taken in the lobby and of the items outside .

The International Civil Rights Center & Museum is a must-see when visiting the Greensboro area. It is informative and inspiring - and the tour guides are incredibly powerful storytellers. It was amazing to see the original Woolworths lunch counter where the four A&T freshmen sat to kick off a civil rights movement that influenced many people then and now.

Review №27

The employees were rude and the tour is haphazardly constructed. The only way to experience this museum is by guide. Our guide handed our group off, but didnt guide us to the hand off guide. Directions of handoff werent clear which posed a safety risk, as the entire group was left unattended in a dark auditorium. This was told to the ticket person, who seemed not to care, when help was sought. It sucks because we drove a good distance to experience the museum, but the quality was nonexistent. If coming from out of town, dont. Honestly, there are way better civil rights museums, namely in Atlanta, Birmingham, or Memphis. This isnt it.

This is a super inspiring museum that is focused on four young men who sat at a counter in 1960 where only white people were allowed to eat. This museum tells their story but more importantly it gives a playbook for how to make change non-violently. These activists told their professors what they were going to do so they could get bailed out if arrested. They told the local newspaper so that it could take a picture and document the event. They planned to not get distracted. They bought things at the store so that they could be clear that they were customers and deserved to be able to eat at the counter. Because their action was clear and well documented, it was used as a design pattern and repeated across the south and had a real impact and sparking the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Racism is still a strong force in USA society. We have shifted from slavery to gerrymandering and tracking people of color into prisons. Our leaders still spout politics of fear that encourage white privileged people to be scared of others. We have a lot of work to do as a society and this museum helps inspire us to do that work. I was surprised that 5 out of 6 local people that I met in Greensboro had not been to this museum. This location is a gem and an important place that reminds us that we must continue to strive towards a better society.

I was a young child during the civil rights movement of the early 1960s, but I vividly remember the images on my television of blacks being beaten, pelted with rocks, and attacked with fire hoses. I was very interested in seeing the site of the Woolworths sit-in and get a better understanding of the civil rights struggle. I was somewhat disappointed. The museum is very small: dont expect to spend more than an hour. The lunch counter is still in place, but nothing else about the store exists: a little more context would have been helpful. The museum is dimly lit, no photos are allowed, and the feeling is a bit too reverential. Be forewarned: the images are very graphic and disturbing. I left the museum feeling that I didnt learn more than I already knew. The guides were nice and answered questions, but just didnt provide enough of the context about what we were seeing.

Without a doubt, the ICRC is the most important museum I have visited in my life. After having a whole class on the counterculture and civil rights movements, I needed to come out here for a visit. David, our tour guide, gave me one of the best tours I have had the pleasure of participating in. I would strongly recommend coming here, this is a crucial piece of American history that shouldnt EVER be forgotten.

The International Civil Rights Museum tells the story of the US Civil Rights Movement, with a special emphasis on the Greensboro Sit-In, using images, movies and artifacts. One may not view the museum independently; a well-informed guide leads museum attenders through the facility in groups. However, the guide is an asset in enjoying and understanding the exhibits. Of special interest is the restored Woolworths lunch counter, in its original location. Other artifacts are also striking, particularly for those who have no personal experience with Jim Crow laws. It takes slightly over an hour to complete the tour. The quality of the museum is high and I regard it as a must-see if in the area.

The only reason why Im giving the museum 4 stars is because of the title. Rather than international, I believe it should be American civil rights museum. Other than that, this is an experience that I strongly suggest everybody should do at least once simply for the education. The tour guide (Sage) for our group did a wonderful job, very informative and allowed time for people attending to share stories or add information that she may not have been aware of (interactive).

I was fortunate enough to get a private tour of this place before it was completed and open to the public. This was my first time coming to the museum since then and I enjoyed the tour.

Excellent museum, but definitely not appropriate for children under 10. There was no warning where you purchase tickets, and only a brief warning before showing graphic photos of lynchings and Emmit Till (which the tour guide emphasized). Several children were in the tour, and at least one clung to her mother and remarked how much the photo bothered her. Overall, a great museum, but don’t go with kids under 10. Since it’s only through guided tour, there is no way to easily avoid graphic photos.

I visited this museum three months ago it was an experience to know what happen during the civil war movement. In my opinion, to the eye opening and want to learn more about American history it is pretty good and profitable to see what happen in the past and working together to make America a proud nation for the future. To the closed mind and narrow thinker, it will create tension in their heart while touring the museum. I have came from a country that the government have treated their citizen unfairly like that too. During my visited I learn from both side to prepare me to be a better citizen in the United States.

On an overnight trip to Greensboro, we visit the International Civil Rights Center & Museum, located in the Downtown Greensboro Historic District. For us, the tour guide, who was excellent, and seeing the Woolworth counter in person really made the visit meaningful to us.Ive seen a small section of the lunch counter at the Smithsonian, but seeing it here was different. For one thing, its quite large. In its time, this must have been quite a business, and I can see why it was selected for the 1960 Greensboro sit-ins..The museum is set up so that, while a guided tour is required and you cant just wander around on your own, the tours are continuous, and new patrons can join a tour at any point, and then later see the rest of the tour that you may have missed.As noted, our guide was excellent -- friendly, knowledgeable and forceful in her opinions.The museum is designed in a way that segregation as it existed before 1960 (and later as well), really hits home. You can see an actual Colored drinking fountain, and you can see a two-sided Coca-Cola machine, where the white side has cheaper drinks than the African-American side --this is the poverty tax, our guide explained.The build itself is of some historical importance. It was designed in the Art Deco style.This is well worth the hour and 15 to 30 minutes that a full tour requires. Cost is now $12 for adults (with a $2 discount with AAA) and $10 for seniors and students (no AAA discount on top of the senior or student discount), children under 5 free.Photos are not allowed in the main part of the museum. However, after the tour you can take photos in the lobby.

If youre choosing to visit any Civil Rights Museum, its likely that you desire to learn a different side of the Civil Rights Movement than that which was taught in our educational system. The guides are who make this tour most interesting and compelling. I heard one visitor say that they wished the tour guides were less preachy. The only problem with this thought is the guides are speaking from their heart because the museum speaks to the immense difficulties they faced and currently face as being black (broad term) in America. Great tour, passionate and informed guides, eye opening to the realities of our American history which has been marred by injustice and hypocrisy. Enjoy the tour educationally but leave thinking about what YOU can do to make this a country of equality and justice for all.

Especially in these times, this is an important museum to visit. It will move you and teach you things you didnt know about the movement.
