This has to be the best curated museum that I have been to yet! The staff is very professional and exhibits are state of the art. It is a very heavy subject and very educational! Plan on spending the day here along with the second location. There is a nice cafeteria style restaurant on site as well. My experience here will remain with me for the rest of my life! Many thanks and much appreciation to EJI! Job well done!

Stunning, as in I was stunned. The hard truth was so well presented I didn't recoil in denial. It was compelling. Inspirational. Revealing. Please make sure to visit all 3 sites. Do it over 2 days if possible so you are not rushed. I took this photo bc the rain looks like tears. The models are living descendants of enslaved people.

What a well done captivating museum!!! Filled with beautiful artwork and so much sad historical content. I truly found myself in complete shock in many points as I made my way thru the museum. My husband and I brought our 2 daughters ages 18 and 12. It was emotionally heavy for everyone. Be prepared to have some very deep conversations with your children after your visit. I recommend at the very least to give yourself 2-3 hours or more so you can fully see and experience everything. There are no pictures or videos allowed inside and there are staff members all throughout the museum. There are 2 separate buildings apparently but we ran out of time so unfortunately did not get to visit the second portion. Our tickets are indefinite so our next trip to Montgomery we will make a stop. Tickets were only $5 pp which was pretty surprising. Make the trip, experience this remarkable museum.

This place is not to be confused for the memorial. This is the AMAZING museum and they also have an equally amazing memorial nearby. I agree with the reviews where I think every American needs to come here and to give yourself at least 2 hours to walk through. The displays from the moment you start the museum, are so compelling and really take you through the journey of injustice. Breaks your heart and gives you clear understanding at the same time. Here are a couple of quotes that I really liked from Bryan Stevenson (the lawyer who put together the museum and memorial with his awesome team): “the sound of suffering and misery will push you to do things that otherwise you could never do. It’s in these spaces, that can motivate us.” “there is a need for cultural movement that gets us to remember so we can recover and re-claim.”

A must do for any visit to Montgomery. I was only driving through and wanted to kill an hour or two max in Montgomery. I ended up spending 4 hours at the Legacy Museum alone before visiting all the other spots in Montgomery. This is a very well-done and moving experience. Any visit will make you certainly reflect and it will be a very hard/emotional day. However, I highly recommend the Legacy Museum and put it at a similar level to the Holocaust Museum in DC.

This place is not just a museum. It's a fully educational, emotional, immersive EXPERIENCE!! Emmaculate, high end, well-thought out exhibits and displays to showcase our rich history!! Only $5 to access museum and 6 acre memorial ground. Free parking on the side of the building and a restaurant inside. Tickets must be purchased in advanced for your assigned, timed entry. We spent 3 hours on our walk through. No limit on how long you stay inside. Don't rush. Read the information...observe...appreciate every detail. I learned so much that I never learned in school. It's a must see and well worth it!!

Outstanding museum. So powerful. Exhibits are moving and require respectful reverence. I think the design is careful and sensitive so that most children 4th grade and up (as long as they can be still and silent) could visit. The museum is accessible and well-staffed. There is a restaurant and gift shop. Restrooms are clean. The entire museum is modern and beautiful. Highly recommend.

Powerful must visit place. I spent about two hours to learn about the history for justice and freedom but feel like I need to come back.. it’s just a tip of iceberg I learned. Highly recommend.

This is such a well done museum. I had lunch in the restaurant that is attached to the museum. Food was good. I then spent 4hrs walking around and in awww on the on how the story of salvery is told through this beautiful museum. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
