    This museum highlights a fairly depressed looking downtown area, and while the outside doesn't have…read morea ton of aesthetic appeal, the interior rotunda is quite impressive. It houses a small, eclectic collection of exhibits focusing on subjects ranging from the local music scene to the history of segregation. The titular Harriet Tubman is memorialized in art and sculpture, but I could not figure out why the museum had this focus; Tubman is of course an impressive figure but as far as I could tell she was never anywhere near Georgia (the national park site in Eastern Shore Maryland is the area where she actually lived). Another aspect of the museum which puzzled me a bit was an exhibition on Tyler Perry, who again doesn't seem to have any local ties but is apparently a bigger cultural figure than I would have guessed. A mural on important historical figures is intriguing, but bizarrely excludes native Georgian Clarence Thomas and casually throws in figures like Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson while omitting some rather important pieces of context. Other parts of the museum focus on some starkly negative aspects of local history, as well as inspirational stories of success; military heroes get detailed stories here, but I was also impressed by a wall of black inventors. Overall, I found it a museum with some good highlights, but overall a mixed experience with some unfortunate lapses and not really a large enough place to drive from anywhere not in the Macon area just to see it.

    A source of inspiration, triumph, and empowerment of African American stories told through Art,…read moreInnovations, Videos, Artifacts, and storytelling. Host of an annual Pan-African festival in April and All Souls Jazz Festival in January. An entire gallery dedicated to the Soul of Macon - highlighting Otis Redding, James Brown, and Little Richard among others with stories and artifacts from their recording life. Beautiful fine art and folk art both expressive and abstract from African American artists formally and informally studied in art. Stories of Harriet Tubman's life and journey to free slaves through the Underground Railroad and her dedications to freedom late in life. Innovations gallery of inventions and innovations patented by African and Black Americans along with a highlights mural of black Americans dedicated to civil rights. Give the museum an hour or two to take in all the exhibits, videos, art, and galleries. A great stop for Black History and African American appreciation.
