Banneker-Douglass Museum, African American heritage museum in Annapolis, United States.
The Banneker-Douglass Museum occupies a Victorian Gothic structure with 11,700 square feet of space containing 12,000 historical objects and the Sylvia Gaither Garrison Library.
Built in 1874, the building served as Mount Moriah African Methodist Episcopal Church until its transformation into Maryland's official African American heritage museum in 1984.
