The Griot Museum of Black History
The Griot Museum of Black History, African-American wax museum in St. Louis, United States.
The Griot Museum exhibits life-size wax figures of notable Black individuals, historical artifacts, and presents stories of African American achievements through regional connections.
Established in 1997 as the Black World History Wax Museum, the institution changed its name to The Griot Museum in 2009 to reflect its role as a keeper of stories.
The museum displays a collection of wax sculptures depicting figures like Carter G. Woodson, Josephine Baker, and Martin Luther King Jr, alongside African American historical exhibits.
Located at 2505 St. Louis Avenue, the museum maintains wheelchair accessibility, offers group discounts, and operates throughout the year with admission under 10 dollars.
