Meet us and we will give you a private tour of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The National Museum of African American History and Culture is the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture. It was established by an Act of Congress in 2003 following decades of efforts to promote and highlight the contributions of African Americans. The museum has collected more than 36,000 artifacts. Your tour guide will focus on important highlights to keep your group engaged. During the tour, hear how the stories, histories, and cultures of African Americans are shaped and informed by global influences. This is not an official Smithsonian tour. Customers booking this tour are paying for UTG Experience's services and perspective, which is independent of and may not represent the views of the Smithsonian.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the private tour at the African American History Museum?

A: There's no specific age limit for this tour, but I would say it's best suited for older kids and adults who can appreciate the content. Younger kids might get bored or not fully understand some of the exhibits. Just consider the maturity level of the kids you're thinking about bringing along!

Q: What's the best way to get there? Parking options?

A: If you’re driving, there’s limited street parking nearby, but I'd recommend using a parking garage—like the one at the National Mall. It's about a 10-minute walk to the museum from there. If you're using public transport, the Smithsonian station is super close, so that's an easy option too!

Q: Can we reschedule if something comes up?

A: Yes, you can reschedule your private tour as long as you give them a heads up. Just be sure to check their policy for how much notice they require. Typically, I think it's about 48 hours notice, which is pretty standard.

Private Guided Tour - Worth it for a birthday gift?

I’m considering this private guided tour of the African American History Museum for my sister’s birthday. She’s into art and history, and I think this would be a unique experience. Is it interactive or mostly just walking through exhibits?
