The National Museum of African American Music will be a 56,000 square foot facility located at Fifth and Broadway. The National Museum of African American Music will tell a storey that has never before been told – one which shares how African Americans play a critical role in shaping our country’s heritage and culture. From production to songwriting to performance to consumption, this country’s musical landscape was formed by a distinct group who created, influenced and inspired more than 50 genres and styles of music. This storey will be one of history, struggles, triumphs and culture – a storey of a people; with remarkable resilience and artistry. The museum will showcase how many of today’s artists are connected to the traditions born out of the African American experience, with captivating scenes, interactive technology, quotes, artefacts and creative educational programming.
