National Great Blacks in Wax Museum (The)

I went to the Blacks and Wax Museum over the summer before I moved make the Marland and I thought it was an amazing experience. I am currently a Junior in High School and I am ready to return to this lovely museum. This museum was a good and bad experience. It was good because I was happy to learn about my fellow African Americans of my History. The worst part about this trip was the lynching. I can tell you that that was the hardest part of the museum for my cousin and I. Everyone of the CBBC Youth went into this section of the museum joking and laughing, then they came back up full of tears, anger, anguish, and fustration. But the museum was an absoulte best experience for me and my family. I would loe to do this again. RRM

***Highly Recommended***This is a great experience for you and the family to learn all about some of the Greatest Black Minds ever. There are many exhibits...some very very sad and/or gruesome (making them unsuitable for some children). I bought my daughter at the age of 6. She had many questions but other than that, she did well. Prices are very reasonable. Don't leave B-More without checking it out.

finally our history is shown in a light that is just. although the atmosphere is least than perfect, it is still a educational and unique experience.

I love the Great Blacks in Wax Museum in Baltimore, MD. It is the only African American Wax Museum in the country, maybe the world. You can view life size wax figures of civil rights leaders, musical artists, actors, actresses, politicians, community activists, comedians, lawyers, judges, and scientists. The museum also provides a vivid history lesson on the Middle Passage and Lynching. It is a must see for all Americans. Lest we forget! The musuem is very affordable and well worth every cent. I give it ten thumbs up!

I had never been to a wax museum before and thought it was kind of silly, but when I went there, the slave ship exhibit really blew me away. Of course I had learned about it in history class, but seeing how they stacked the Africans up like wood really brought it home. I also appreciated the place to reflect and participate in a water ceremony in honor of the people forced into slavery.
