The world's largest museum of African American history and culture, this impressive building opened in 1997 and is named after a local doctor and activist who first established it. With 120,000 square feet of exhibit space, the Charles H. Wright Museum includes several exhibit galleries, a research library, classrooms and a museum store. The anchor exhibit, "Of the People: The African American Experiences," uses Detroit's own history to tell the story of the black experience in the United States. Previously, much smaller incarnations of the museum existed, dating back to 1965. Admission is $8 for adults, $5 for seniors 62+ and children 3-12.
