Reviews of Tubman Museum (Museum)

This was a very educational place to visit. I came here with my husband and 2 of our 5 Kid (boys 9 & 13). I enjoyed that it was self guided and we were able to look around on our own. It was informative and had exhibits that explored local history, music, art and culture. My older son struggled with some of the images and exhibits but i explained it was part of his history and that it was ok to be upset but it is important for him to be informed. I liked the walk through history exhibit and the 1000 Miles to Freedom movie. I do wish there was more to look at but they are working on a few things to add to the museum. I can't wait to revisit it.

Informative place nice history learned a few things

Narelle Magloire

It's an upgrade from the older place, lots of space and lighting, definitely showcasing the talents of African Americans in the south, also of the entire American culture. The contributions are of the African Americans contributions to freedom of slaves and art relating to that effort. It's a great place for wheelchairs, scooter chairs, as corridors are widely spaced and can cater for these modes of transport. They also cater to school tours.

Maro Barragan

Great venue for the promotions of local art and social events that support local business and community.

Robert Lewis

Loved the experience and plenty of history. I recommend this wonderful facility to everyone to visit

Sharon Simonetti

You need to visit the Tubman! Put this on your bucket list. I am so glad that I went.

Joy Ballew

I recommend anyone and wveryone to attend an event here as well as take a tour of the entire Museum. It's a warm and friendly place as well as well educated tourists and staff when it comes to questions being answered. I thoroughly enjoy each experience everythime I come for various events and occasions. Thank you very much for welcoming myself and my entire family into this beautiful place of much needed History.

Donald Druitt

Best African American Museum/Cultural Center in the South!

K Grindle

An American history museum named in honor of Harriet Tubman. While an alcove is dedicated to Harriet Tubman, the body of the museum features the contributions and sacrifices of people of color from the Macon area. I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing this museum, and I left feeling inspired.

DeeShannon Garrison

For a building that big and an admission price of $10, there is very little to see. The main focus is on wall art with a secondary emphasis on actual exhibits. I'm disappointed that there are not any interactive exhibits and there is a complete lack of regional African crafts, folklore, religion, or customs. I was hoping for an enriching learning experience.

Derrick Mincey

A great museum with interesting African and African-American artifacts, memorabilia, and music industry icons.

Jennifer M

Courtney Blackston

Not exactly what I expected, but our guide was awesome. We learned alot we didn't know previously. Wish the section on Harriet Tubman had more about the Underground Railroad.

Sara Sara

I visited about seven months ago so things may have slightly changed, but it was similar to other museums I've been to before. I enjoyed the guided tour and I was impressed by the guides vast knowledge relation to the museum itself.

Thomas Sanders

Historical displays and new African American art.

R Dean

Customer service needs a little work but other than that very educational

rebecca rima

Lot of reading. Wonderful!! Not recommend for young kids if they have short attention span. Love the information about each piece in the museum.

Dia

Great history.

Heatherly Wakefield

I'm in love with the 'Mr. Imagine' collection. This museum has an open, modern feel, and you can truly appreciate each piece of art. Exhibition space is nicely arranged, also easy to see & read. A must-see for out-of-towners AND local peeps. And yes, it's the Tubman museum, but it's a great stop for people of all races--you will not be disappointed. FYI, free parking on either side of the museum.

A well done museum. I recommend it to anyone interested in the history of the United States. The museum’s focus is black history which all Americans need to work to gain an accurate understanding of this marginalized group of Americans citizens.

L Lawrence

I've lived in this area most of my life, but I learned so much more about the people I have known who are featured in this museum. It's a wonderful place to share with family, friends, and coworkers. You may even find stories of your ancestors here.

A lot of history within a building

Eugenia Scott

Enjoyed my visit. Smaller but spacious museum with a variety of history and art work. Price very reasonable. Glad we went.

Angela Hines

Educational, Affordable, Well worth the time....

Robyn Rouse

Great info and service. The only negative for me was that it was a self-guided tour and I would have loved to have a tour guide to get the extra info instead of reading everything. You need at least two hours to read all the info on both floors, but over all it is a great experience.

Evon Elias

It was great. Very informative & emotional. Seeing our history through the eyes of the people who lived it, jst seeing what they went through & how far we've come. All in all a very revealing & thought provoking experience. Thank you Harriet Tubman!!

Sally Wylie

Didn't enjoy museum, unable to take photos of anything other than Harriet Tubman. Other exhibits were off limits

Samukai Sarnor

Learn a little about the history of African American figures, struggle and hopes.

Crystal Powell

The Tubman Museum is well worth a visit. I was lucky enough to meet the Founder the day I visited. the place is absolutely spotless. The exhibit on the first floor was incredibly moving and put a lot of things in perspective for me. The Harriet Tubman and Otis Redding exhibits upstairs were well done and informative. You only need about one hour to see the museum and really appreciate the exhibits. So happy I made the time.

Clara Burton

Historically accurate, well designed and beautiful.

Shun Jackson

Lovely spacious place. Security was on point. Had more than enough room.

Keleb Gadol

First, I thought this was a museum about plumbing, no kidding. I already knew about the Christian Republican, Harriet Tubman, via Wikipedia. Save $10 (2018 ticket price) and have a nice lunch while you read all about her on the internet.

Jellian Williams

Place is very extravagant. A great venue for Weddings, Coporate events and Ballroom style Venues.

The worst excuse for a 'museum' that I've ever seen.

mike nevins

This place is awesome and very much an eye-opening experience. I'm very glad we were able to see it.

Sasha Victoria Dunn

My 5 year old daughter and I visited this museum while I was in Macon for business. I was afraid that the museum wouldn't be too exciting for her and that she would quickly lose interest. I took her anyway because I thought it would be a good way to introduce her to some historical figures and African American culture. The museum was not a disappointment! We both had a great time. In fact I believe she enjoyed the exhibition more than I did. Also to be noted was how polite, helpful, and informative the staff members were. I would definitely recommend the museum. It's inexpensive and AAA members receive admission at a discounted rate.

Marvin Mitcham

Black. History

Catona T

Why do I have to pay to see my history?

Williams Barnes

Great museum

Bill Bryant

Great museum. It is 3 years old at it's new location but you can tell they are adding more and for what they have os amazing. The history of men and women currently in the city, who came before them, and the african american history outside of the city of Macon, Ga they put together is superb. Def go see.

Priscilla C Stewart

The museum was beautiful. It was actually my first time there. I was the bartender for a birthday party held there.

Stephanie Pierson

With a museum this large, there is so much to discover and learn. I love how it is a history and art museum. The changing exhibits are always interesting. Location is downtown, near other tourist spots. This museum is a hidden gem. Bring your kids on second Saturdays for family events!
