It is an incredible museum. One can learn many things about African communities. It’s fun to explore how different communities celebrate festivals. The museum gives a gist of few festivals. This museum offers free passes to SF public library members. The membership to library is free if you are a San Francisco resident.

Small art exhibit featuring Black culture. There are 3 floors that could be seen thoroughly in about an hour. You do need proof of vaccination with ID to enter. Visiting here from Florida, I was excited to see the nod on the term "jitt" on one of the pieces. Exhibits were well lit and spatially aware. Tiny gift shop was primarily composed of books. Not sure if it was a special occasion, but they were giving out free merchandise at the end of your visit. Glad I was able to make the visit.

It was very informational riveting self guided but easy to follow wonderful pictures fabulous back story and incredibly talented artist..

Great art museum, usually have 2-3 exhibits at a time. Really close to MoMA SF so swing by.

Easily, hands down one of the cutest, most educational AA museums I’ve ever been to. I love learning about my culture, and seeing different artists that I would’ve never known about. I love the cute bookstore and the levels to the place. I love how it made me feel and I love how much I learned. What a great place! I truly can’t wait to go back.

An SF gem! Especially loved the exhibits by Amoako Boafo and Billie Sangewa, whose colorful painted portraits and stitched silk collages are powerful explorations of Black identity

This is a place you have to visit in San Francisco. Beautiful and modern museum. The staff is so welcoming and nice. They kindly guide through the process but they definitely let you enjoy and explore. I was really impressed by the "The Theard That Bind" created by the emerging artist Cynthia Aurora Brannvall. The masterpieces make you think, rethink and want to no more about "US". Great work!

Got an opportunity to see the New Vanguard exhibit. It was really good. It will be there until March 2023

It's a cool museum, pretty small but tickets are cheap. They had a lot of vogue like photography, which just isn't my personal favorite style. My favorite exhibit there was probably the religious one, which was in my opinion more experimental

Very disappointed in this establishment today. I had a whole day planned for my daughter centered around African American culture, and this museum was supposed to be a part of that experience for her. It says it is open on Sundays from 12-5 but it was CLOSED!!! Even when I called the number it said that it was open but it was not. Ugh. Do better

The exhibits were beautiful. The atmosphere was very chill. We had a delightful experience.

This was an exceptional experience. The art exhibits were amazing. Additionally, the customer service experience was par excellent. I found it fitting to become a member immediately.I am looking forward to my next visit.

Beyond its exhibits and events, the Museum of the African Diaspora is also committed to promoting dialogue and understanding among people of all backgrounds. The museum offers educational programs and outreach initiatives that aim to foster greater awareness and appreciation of the African diaspora and its ongoing impact on the world. Overall, the Museum of the African Diaspora is a vital cultural institution that offers a unique and important perspective on the global African experience. Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or simply looking to broaden your understanding of the world, this museum is definitely worth a visit.

Recently reopened with new exhibition Joe Sam. It was nicely set up and presented. Several floors (stairs or elevator available) and different viewing places such as a mini theater and music/projection on the wall. Teen local artists' works were displayed, giving young artists a great opportunity and showcasing. You also have the opportunity to express yourself and artistic talent with a hands-on activity area and reading books. Great for adults and children. You will leave inspired! There is also a small book shop with lots of options for purchase. Free lockers to lock your belongs while visiting.

One of my favorite museums ever. There is such a wide range of aesthetic forms and I love how the museum feels both intimate and expansive. It's a true San Francisco gem, and one of those museums I wish I could spend forever in.

Awesome museum. Love it

Omg. Such a rotation of exhibits. As a POC from Bermuda this gave me all the life.

I really enjoyed the interactive exhibits and being able to read more about the inspiration/background of the artists.

This place was interesting. The people working there seemed nice and smiled often. The "art" itself was kind of hit and miss. Some of them I really loved and some seemed sorta pointless. Now I get that art is highly subjective and I likely wouldn't like all of the art at any place, but some things really just felt like nothing. Also there was an augmented reality section outside on the second floor, but it didn't work. So all in all I liked it but didn't love it.

Always a great experience and learning here!

Nice place to visit

It's a beautiful museum right around the corner from the Museum of Moderm Art. It's a bit small. The first floor is mostly a gift shop. The exhibits are on the second and third floors. To their credit the collection of art was stunning. I appreciate that they took care to collect art from the different places where the diaspora had gone - it gave the museum a global feel.

Really good exhibition!

I love going to museums. They make you smarter as you engage in the exhibits. They aim to foster a deeper understanding of the artwork, and you usually leave with more insight on things or people you weren't knowledgeable about beforehand. In my opinion, Museum of the African Diaspora is fantastic with engaging their visitors as there is so much to see. We spent well over an hour admiring the work of famous artists, such as Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Beautiful art exhibits. Polished and exquisite and tastefully done. Billie Zengawa art is beautiful and novice. She is featured in the November/December edition of Essence Magazine, which speaks volumes to the museums taste.

Museum of the African Diaspora is probably my favorite museum in downtown LA. And, it's free! You must sign up to go into the infinite room if you haven't been before. Sign up as soon as enter because there will be a wait, and then you can spend your wait time walking through the rest of the museum.

I was WOWED by the 2 exhibits I saw today on my first visit ever to MOAD:Amoako Boafo (stunning, dramatic painted portraits) and Billie Zangewa (silk fabric collages that LOOK like paintings from a distance.) I regret it has taken me so long to appreciate this sometimes-overlooked gem of a museum. Proud to say I am now a member!

I love this place. Never knew it existed although I was born and raised in San Francisco. Ms. Remy was out tour guide for my 3rd grade class field trip. She's wonderful.

It's a really great museum with a good focus on bringing new artists to the scene. Plus the staff are really nice! The layout of the building is well organized and the exhibits are accessible. Definitely recommended as a must see if you're visiting San Fran.

Love love love MoAD! The museum always features inspiring provocative exhibits. The location is accessible. This museum is a definite must-see when coming to SF Bay Area.

I visited the Museum of the African Diaspora on the second Saturday of the month. This is important because it is free on that weekend. The staff were great and accommodating. The exhibits were informative in reference to the artist and messages the art are seeking to convey. I enjoyed my experience and I encourage people to visit and donate to the museum.

Beautiful building with modern exhibits.

This is a thoughtfully curated museum. This exhibits were beautiful and profound. The prices for admission were very reasonable, and they also offer senior/student discounts. I would recommend this museum for weekend plans with friends or as a pre-dinner date!

An amazing space to explore, think, and learn. Beautifully curated, MoAD celebrates the power, wisdom, brilliance, and curiosity of artists that are reclaiming Black! This is a must visit place for allies of humanity!

The photo "Door of No Return" by Trina Robinson - made me weep openly. I cannot stress the importance of this museum enough, truly.

Loved it! Went during MLK Day for free entry, and it was worth the trek from East Bay and the line (waited about 35 minutes to get in). There are some pieces that they ask you not to take photos of, so please keep an eye out for those signs. Spent about 1.5 hours there even with lingering over some stuff, so this is a nice activity is you have a few hours or want to have a fun date with lunch/dinner!

I think there is a great occasion to show more about the African diaspora in this museum. However I felt it was a lot of space wasted and not used to talk more about a culture so rich and developed. Entrance ticket is 10$.

Has great art from both Africa and prominent African American artists which changes every 3 or 4 months. Great place to learn about black history.

Beautiful building, exhibit space. Nice community events

Wonderful telling of the story of the Diaspora.

Very informative programs

This must be like a primitive atmospher...

My friend just had a show here! Check out her work Chanell Stone

The only thing I don't understand is why are their European tour guides Like there's no black tour guides available

Beautiful exhibitions, nice, people. St. Regis bar next door.

Beautiful contemporary building, interesting exhibitions, always make me think, not my sensibility though, each time there were a lot of portraits. I would like to see more diverse forms of expression.

Small museum with three floors of exhibits. The layout is simple and always enjoy the artwork on display.

What an interesting place and amazing exhibitions!

Awesome place. Friendly staff. Locker to put stuff in(free). Watch movies. Watch people on the street. Learning about different cultures is cool!

The exhibits here are always engaging. I went a couple weeks back and on exhibit was fascinating art work reflecting a noble Nigerian family. There was also a nice exhibit related to this idea of home and the relevance of home to a person's sense of identity. Very interesting. It's a must see and admission is relatively low! Just $10 for adults and $5 for students with student ID.

I especially enjoyed the "Black Is Beautiful" exhibit in spring 2020 featuring photographs from the 50's and 60's by Kwame Brathwaite. Only four stars because the museum could, no should be much bigger.

Nice spot. The art exhibition makes you reflect on history.

What a precious space. So needed in these reoccurent times of displacement and disruption in the African diasporic communities. Thank u ??

I like the shows. They are one of the good places that shows African and African American arts

Rooted

I went here when I was getting my BA degree in Creative Arts from SJSU. I remember being impressed. An interesting place.

(Translated by Google) in total, maybe from 20-30 work-pictures of "artists" with African-American roots. absolutely not worth the price of the entrance ticket to this fancy shrine. (Original) w sumie może z ze 20-30 prac-zdjeć "artystów" o korzeniach afroamerykańskich. absolutnie nie warte ceny wejściówki do tego wyszukanego przybytku.

Nice museum.

Very much contemporary

Great history.

It wasn't what I expected I was hoping to learn about the diaspora and it's people and what came from it and the great leaders, educators, musicians, etc... I was hoping to learn about where the diaspora took the people of Africa. What the ancestors of the diaspora might look like in the modern world. I was hoping to be enlightened. I had so much hope and interest in going here and I was like WTF I want to learn but I'm not and just confused. I wanted to learn about where people went and the migration from those places and current bday people.

Striking exhibits of African-American art and struggles.

(Translated by Google) Amazing!! (Original) Incrível!!

Awesome!! This time was only a quick trip through the exhibits but I'll definitely be back!

Wonderful exhibits and a cute bookstore!

A great and moving museum with interesting exhibits

Incredible space

Loved it!! Interesting, well curated, important.
