The 13 Best Museums in Philadelphia, From Art Galleries to Medical Museums | Condé Nast Traveler
"Set on a quieter stretch of Arch Street surrounded by federal buildings, the African American Museum has a late-1970s look and feel. The collection focuses on the African American experience from the early Colonial era to the present day. The floors are organized chronologically; the first floor showcases a video installation where historic figures share their experiences as black Philadelphians at the time of the Revolution. Higher floors are reserved for temporary exhibitions. Visitors seek out this museum to better understand African American history and culture. It's often filled with Philadelphia public school students." - Nancy DePalma
