The staff was great and personable. It's my second trip and each time I learn something new about my history and ancestors journey to America.

TAMIKA OWENS

On a girl's trip with my mom and last minute we decided to go there. What a marvelous experience. The way was paved on the back of our ancestors. Even had a history lesson. Will definitely visit again.

Jeremy Wallace

A Good Experience!

Melissa Jackson

Great experience and staff very knowledgeable

Delsie Parker

Knowledgeable staff great location.

APEX Museum

Decatur Christian Towers visit Apex Museum and it was very educational, there were many stories of our black culture that we learned and many black people who were famous that we never knew about. You need to spend time to read all the interesting pictures, so don't rush. Also it would help to download Apex App.

Dahshar Maharg

Most amazing museum that I have ever seen!

Gregg Lerman

The little museum that could. Small but gives you an overview of the experience of how slavery worked and its affect on those who were forced to come here. Good to do in combination with the Center for Civil and Human Rights.

Robert Singleton

Great place to visit and learn about African American history. Lots of useful and informative information at this place.

TAM RUSSELL

Madinah Books

Kim Spells

The museum is small, but packed with quality information. I was made aware of facts about my African American history that I never knew about! I highly recommend it!

Ellen Williams

Tiesha Rouse

I really enjoyed it. Staff was awesome and infomative

Victor Hills

The APEX Museum is located in the "Sweet Auburn" area of Atlanta. Sweet Auburn was an African American area in Atlanta prior to desegregation. MLK grew up in the area and the Ebenezer Baptist Church is located there as well. The APEX is small which affords an intimate experience. Staff is friendly, helpful, and personable. There are 2 short introductory films and the small museum is filled with information. I would personally recommend the APEX more than I would recommend the new museum in Washington DC!

David Hubbard

Very good

Studio Steffanie

The founder, Dan Moore, Sr, and the staff are very professional and personal! Truly a must see!

Lynne Anderson

It was much larger than I anticipated. It needs updating, but that will come with more funding with the planned expansion.

Martha Davis

I'm from Florida visiting family for the Holidays and this was on the Bucket List of places to visit on my stay in ATL. We enjoyed the video and the education information. A must visit when you're in Atlanta.

Jarvis Suggs

Apex museum, in the auburn area of Atlanta GA. The Sunday me and my family visited was a surprise to me. The museum wasn't much to look at from the outside still it was a cultural experience I will forget. Central located off of sweet Auburn just down street from the King center. The display was very educational as well as entertaining. Not to lessen your experience it opens with a video presentation that sets the stage for a history of the African experience in Ga. This is a must see.

Trescine Walker Borders

Great Inspiration

Willa H. Brewer

I was impressed with learning about how African Americans started businesses on Auburn Street in downtown Atlanta in the early 1900's. The museum also had historical facts about the wealth of Africa, it's Kings and Queens, forced slavery, and the many inventions of African Americans that a lot of people aren't aware of. I really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who is seeking to educate themselves of real history regarding Africa and African Americans contribution to the United States.

taejun Park

great work space to share

Sidnee Freeman

Great little museum! Cheap Groupon tickets.

Edwin Pettway

A historical legend for African Americans. Small but abouslutely amazing. A must see.

Becca A

Great history, they need a bigger/ updated facility.

Jennifer Anne

The museum is very small and dated (exhibits and films seem to be from the 80s), but the information is good. My favorite parts were the replica of the slave ship hold and the old drug store. It's worth a stop if you're in the MLK Jr national site area and have an extra hour or so, but maybe not worth going out of your way to see.

Johnnie Jackson

History at it's Finest

Chalaiporn Iamsirithaworn

Very informative and impressive

Shadow Lord

truly enjoyed it. staff very helpful and friendly. exhibits were so accurate. I highly recommend

Pantheria Sandiford

Great historical information!!

Tobi Cawthra

Small but wonderful museum. There is a lot of information packed into the space. The videos at the start of the visit offer a great overview of African American history and commerce in the area and provided perspective when looking through the other exhibits. The exhibits could use a little updating although what is there lays groundwork for reflection and encourages additional study. I highly recommend!

Da La

Very educational

LaQuita Jamar

Very informative especially about the black history of Atlanta and the staff was very friendly I highly reccomend

robin white

Excellent for sharing & learning African American history. Family & large party friendly. Parking was available. Budget friendly & they support military A++

Diamond Almoz

Amazing!

LT Anderson

This was an amazing experience and a sad 1. How slaves was tranported.

Michael Blackburn

A bit disappointing. I was expecting a great deal more than I got. Parking was limited. Never knew this place was here in Atlanta and I have been here almost 30 years. The short film was shown on 2 small screen one of which was lopsided and the seats were hard. But without anything else it is a must see for children. But still we rise.

Kenneth Zakee

Great place for African American history and culture.

thierno bah

Nice experience. To be having a 40th ANNIVERSARY coming up they need to improve appearance. If you want ppl to take our story our history serious that place should be immaculate especially in ATLANTA.

Gii Monay

My daughter had difficulties accepting who she was as a person as our culture. I took her here. The best experience I could've ever gave her and myself. Thank you for showing us the True KINGS AND QUEENS we are !!!

ibeerrywhere

Great experience. Knowledgeable friendly staff.

A nice historical reminder of the past struggles of Afro-Americans in their efforts to achieve sociopolitical/economical freedom while under America's form of a apartheid.

Zola Dadawele

As soon as I walked in, I felt as though I was loved. The environment was great and I love how much information was available in and around the building.

DonJamesE

The staff are all well-spoken and engaging, considering what they are provided. The staff are 5-star; however, the museum could use some much needed updating and maintenance. Such an important piece of history needs to be shown in a proper environment.

Meka Gosa

Had a nice time at the Apex Museum. The people were nice! A little small museum, but overall I enjoyed myself. And learned a lot. Thanks to the staff

I love the information I received from this great place. If you really want to enjoy yourself and bring a nice companion to tag along, a great experience is awaiting your arrival. I'm a black nationalist so upon entry, my jaws dropped at how MUCH the black mass has contributed to this tyrant we call America.

Klem Millet

The experience was enhanced by the youth group that was touring with us, demonstrating their impact on the community.

AWESOME display of the slave ships, information on prominent African Kings, & inventions by our people. It's worth the small fee to enter!

Google Reviewer

I had a great experience at the Apex Museum. The staff are personable and super friendly. I learned a lot about the journey from Africa to America. They play 2 short films to start of the tour and the rest is self-guided. Everyone visiting or living in Atlanta should visit. It’s only $5 for military/veterans and they have a Groupon special for couples and groups! It’s also a small museum but worth the visit. They also have a gift shop.

Bernadette Rodriguez

Phenomenal and very thought provoking!

Trell's World

A must visit. So rich in history & knowledgeable staff members I was even fortunate enough to meeting the own a very Humble individual who knows how important sharing our history truly is Thank U all for everything.

Sandra Hill

It's is a place of the True History if our People. Thanks

Simone Watson

Wonder place to learn black history and how we started.

A H

It's a nice muesam to visit. You have to pay for parking.

Amber Humphrey

Would definitely recommend visiting this museum. Serves as a great reminder of things we may have forgotten about and taken for granted, as well as learning new info to make this world and its history make a little more sense. Also, everyone was so nice!

M Cook

Friendly staff, the museum has plenty of historical information that I wasn't aware of certain events that occurred in the past. Check it out.

Abijah Edwards

It is very educational and very mind blowing experiences to my learning history about my people.

Denise Porter

Took my grandkids, they loved it. Learned a lot that they did not previously know. It's a small museum, but a great introduction to our (non slavery) history.

S

My boyfriend and I visited this museum. I loved the atmosphere and learning about our African history. The staff was very friendly. We also got to take several selfies. We watched 2 10 minute videos that provided a timeline of the African history. I highly recommend this museum to anyone who wants to learn more about the African history.

Robin White

Rich culture beautiful history on African American inventors

Marc James

Middle school history projects presented in a poorly lit space.

Johnny O

My wife and I took our children to the Apex Museum one Friday afternoon. Keep in mind that we visited the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute the day before and the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Birmingham the day before that. Both were great and obviously sufficiently funded. The Apex Museum is a bit dated and probably underfunded. It has been around for 40 years and has a good message. The videos they show after you pay the entrance fee have good information but technology and attention spans have changed a great deal since 1996 and 1987. The videos were presented very well by the staff member and I feel she could have conveyed the messages better than the videos did. Overall it is worth visiting if you are in Atlanta and have some extra time but by no means would I suggest driving to Atlanta for this Museum.

Gloria Wright

Powerful experience! What a blessing to have our rich history illuminated in the manner the APEX does!

Otha Lawrence

First time Visit but Will Return, With my Grandson....! God Bless keep the Black History on Top.. Otha,L.
