The
Studio
Museum
in
Harlem
generally
offers
a
fascinating
multiplex
perspective
on
African
and
African
American
life
for
those
who
are
open
to
it.
We
didn't
get
to
see
much,
as
the
exhibits
are
being
packed
for
moving
out
of
the
building,
which
is
going
to
be
torn
down;
a
new,
gorgeous
building
is
planned,
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
it
in
the
future!
For
people
considering
visiting
this
museum,
check
the
website
for
information,
as
exhibits
will
be
available
in
nearby
locations
beginning
in
May
2018.
The
museum
store
alone
is
well
worth
a
visit!
It
and
the
small
amount
we
were
able
to
see
let
us
know
this
is
a
fabulous
museum
to
which
we
will
plan
another
visit.
As
for
the
perspective
that
the
museum
is
located
in
"a
dangerous
neighborhood"
shared
by
one
reviewer;
I
disagree.
That
comment
is
incorrect,
and,
frankly,
it
sounds
racist.
We
walked
all
over
that
neighborhood
completely
safely,
going
first
to
the
museum,
then
to
Best
Market
Harlem,
and
then
to
Lee
Lee's
Bakery.
We
were
never
bothered--and
I'll
bet
that
other
reviewer
was
never
bothered,
either.
My
husband
and
I
were
struck
by
how
alive
Harlem
feels--a
wonderful
energy
and
spirit
permeates
the
entire
area.
Go
with
an
open
mind--you
won't
regret
it!
