It was inspiring and featured great information on the history of Black peoples plight in this country. Also, reading the history on display regarding George Washington Carver and all he has contributed to America was great. I recommend anyone who enjoys knowing about historical events must visit this museum.

The George Washington Carver Museum is a wonderful event space AND educational landmark. Galleries, art, culture and history can be found all wrapped in a historical location filled with 92 years (as of 2019) of stories and energy. If you have an event, this is a great place to support. If youre curious about the history and culture visit or donate to support - youll be glad you did!

Had a wonder experience the displays of antiques and art work were amazing. Everyone was so friendly. I will definitely return to see the Buffalo Soldier exihibit when its completed. Go by and check out the library, the collection of books are great!

Visited August of 2018. Disappointed would be an gross understatement. Pulled up to see a tattered flag outside flying proudly - not the best first impression. Inside, staff was slow to greet and quick to disappear after a brief set of directions. The exhibits themselves were.....thin. 90% of the items had no detail or explanation written whatsoever. Whole sections of rooms were empty. Some displays felt truly random, like the Phx Sports section in the corner. There were whole pictures sitting on the floor instead of being displayed. The very last section had info about GWC that was hanging, but most couldve easily been found in a textbook. I enjoyed the room that held AZ military officer documents; it was the lone bright spot in a very dim saddening experience. Excluding the (very few) personally handwritten items of Mr. Carver, and the beautiful statue outside, this felt like a waste of time. The museum was absent of all technology: no soundbites, no videos, no nothing. We walked through in 20 minutes. It was also insufferably warm in some parts of the building. This establishment is in desperate need of TLC and modernizing.To conclude: Would a recommend this museum to others? No.
