Northwest African American Museum, African American history museum in Central District, Seattle, United States.
The Northwest African American Museum occupies 17,000 square feet of space with exhibition galleries dedicated to Black experiences in the Pacific Northwest.
Community activists occupied the former Colman School building for eight years starting in 1985 to secure the location for this cultural institution.
The museum features exhibitions of local African American artists and maintains collections that document the Black experience in the Pacific Northwest region.
Visitors can explore the museum galleries and participate in educational programs Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The museum building, a former elementary school constructed in 1909, received official designation as a Seattle landmark in 2009.
