The Alexandria Black History Museum will be temporarily closed from Sunday, July 23, through Thursday, August 10, for interior improvements.  

 The Museum uses its large collection to inspire the public to explore the integral relationship between African American history and other cultural traditions. With one permanent and one rotating exhibition gallery, as well as a variety of programs and lectures, the Alexandria Black History Museum continues to expand educational opportunities for residents, scholars, and tourists. Visit alexandriava.gov/BlackHistory for more information. 

During this time, we encourage residents and visitors to visit our other City Museums and Historic sites. Visit alexandriava.gov/Historic for more information.
