The International African American Museum (IAAM) stands as a transformative and innovative contribution to the field of exhibition design, bringing untold stories of African and African American history to life in a way that is both deeply personal and globally significant. By anchoring the museum’s design on the site of the port of arrival for nearly half of all Africans forced to North America, IAAM creates an immersive experience that honors the sacredness of the location while making history tangible for contemporary audiences.
