I have been enjoying the art and culture presented at this museum for many years.Right now a wonderful exhibition of beautiful Artistic and creative photography by John Simmons is on display.Each photograph is a world of truth and meaning unto itself and yet each image complements and enhances the other photographic works being exhibited.This exhibit ends on March 29, 2020.Dont miss it.John Simmons is a master at capturing the perfect moment that tells an essential story in one picture.

A cozy space with exhibits that change periodically. I spotted SOLD signs on several pieces so evidently it functions as a gallery too. Free parking in the Macys lot and easy to find on the 3rd floor of Macys. A small gift shop is also attached.

What a beautiful collection. I spent most of my time educating myself on the talented African Americans of mine and my fathers time. I appreciate all the information delicately spread amongst the museum.Im going to be honest most of them I have never heard of. Never got a mention in any art class I have ever taken, which is quite sad that AA are a separate subject in art world. We are all Americas and should be given an equal plain when speaking about the benefits and contributions to art.Thank you all whom donated art and allowed us to view your private collections. I felt I was transformed into a whole new world of emotion. God bless.You will love the MAAA. Please make time to visit with free admission I plan to come and enjoy a few times throughout the summer.

What a hidden gem inside of the mall. Always wonderful exhibits and a great store for African and African American art, jewelry, apparel and memorabilia. There is an event hall in the rear that can easily hold 200+ people. I hosted a few events there and they were always great. The acoustics are a bit challenging and sometimes theres a loud and constant humming sound from the AC. Just use a very high quality and loud PA system. Ample space for catering and vendor tables. Support this fantastic venue!

Gift shop only open. Fabulous ladies in the gift shop. 3 stars for great convo and beautiful gift shop collectibles. Exhibit is closed til Nov. 2 2019.

This museum is located in Macys on the third floor. There are no signs to guide you, so be sure to ask a Macys associate for guidance. The staff at the museum are wonderful people who are excited to provide knowledgeable information about the museum. I also had the opportunity to meet John Simmons, A.S.C., who has beautiful work. this place!

Good clerks. The artist had nice photographs. Seem too expensive

The staff here is so incredibly nice, and the art on display is breathtaking to say the least.

This Museum and culture experience is free to the public. Please go!

I just recently went here on my first visit to LA. This AA museum was exhibiting John Henrys work. This was an inspiration piece of work... Im glad I was able to see this on my vacation. However the cashier who was there was an older black lady and she was very rude... Its about 445 and shes like I dont mean to be rude but were closing in 10 minutes and I need you to hurry up and bring your stuff to the register so I can cash you out... I said Im using a debit card... She said still were closing and I need you to come cash out... So I was going to put my stuff back and walk out but I remembered I was supporting the cause not her. So I bought my stuff and left. If you work in customer service you are required to be courteous even when its the end of the day... In spite of that I would still recommend everyone to go see this exhibit and I forgive this woman for her rudeness... Admission is free...

Great photo exhibit on display until March 2020.

Located on Macys! Great history and its free!

Fabulous Musuem, Great Experience, Very Educational,& Phenomenal Artists

Its an art gallery inside of a Macys. It shouldnt even be called a museum, its distasteful.

Incredible gem in Los Angeles for 40 years. Must see....Great and friendly staff...

Lots of cultural and African and African American clothes, art work, clothing, glasses, pillows, dolls Kwanzaa artifacts and African American Art Work.

Very informative and well done. Very pleased that I visited

The museum is absolutely stunning from the inside out. There are metal detectors upon entry. They have a delightful cafe on the basement level, lockers near the restroom on the first floor and a small shop near the info desk.

Situated in an old building. Really works well for the museum.
