Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture

It really is such a shame that I don't make it here often enough. The Schomburg is absolutely amazing and I saw such dedication and passion from the staff I met. They offer youth programs and some of those youth grow up and teach in the very same programs of which they were students. Such an amazing opportunity!

During my time there they talked about some of the legends in the arts & entertainment space who spent time rehearsing or teaching in the space.

The space is beautiful and full of rich culture. I felt very fortunate to have access to it. You can follow them on Eventbrite to keep up with their events!

I adore this place. Was there just 10 minutes ago. The current exhibit to Langston Hughes brings his home up close & personal to you. For National Poetry Month they have Phyllis Whitney's 1st book of poems, along with poetry by Maya Angelo, & others! FREE!!! Check it out! XOXO

They weren't fully open, but I was still able to walk around. The staff were really nice and polite. There was a short movie being shown downstairs, and they only asked for a donation, and they offered donuts and coffee. It's definitely worth the visit.

One of my favorite places! Wonderful center showcasing melanated excellence. Our real story is there I was even able to gain a copy of the peace and friendship treaty. The star map on the floor genius! The gift shop is awesome sauce!

Speechless at the amount of African American history in that place. Throughly enjoyed the entire visit!

Tonight's Event was very interesting.
Marketing Time- Arts In The Age of Mass Incarceration. This place never disappoints I'm always filled with curiosity and enlightenment . Looking forward to the next Exhibit!

Across three galleries, the exhibition Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration looks at the impact of the prison system on contemporary visual art. This exhibition is worth visiting! It provides unique perspectives on the carceral state and promotes the expression of those incarcerated (and formerly incarcerated) through art.

I found the most interesting documentation on the African American experience in this library. The exhibition on the new prison system and the inmates' artwork were very fascinating.

This is a one of a kind library in the world and an honor to have in Harlem. Arturo would be proud. There is a wealth of history on the shelves of this center and you can relive, explore and marvel at all the intellectual gems that are to be found here.. 👌 😀 ✨ 😎 everytime I visit , I find something new and fascinating!!

I saw two incredibly beautiful exhibitions. The only problem of this place is that it’s too “small”. I wish the exhibitions were huge so I could spend hours and hours there. They are amazing. Beautiful Rivers art. I got emotional many times.

There are always entertaining, education events going on here. A bevvy of history knowledge can be found in this building, and I really enjoyed the Black Comic Creator event they had here earlier this year. This is a great place to visit in Harlem, and a stalwart piece of Harlem Culture. I'll be visiting this historic place more often.

The staff is polite and stern. They create an appropriate and communal library environment.
The few times I’ve been to Schomburg, I’ve not only learned something new each time, but left feeling better than when I arrived.

The center is truly an education in and of itself on the African-American experience. Topics are well-considered, wide ranging, and engaging. The book store complements the exhibitions well with more interesting, insightful perspectives.

One of my favorite libraries always enjoy visiting, the staff is wonderful and Excellent history here have and great programs and events do as well

Clean. Spacious. Awesome bookstore. Grievous and knowledgeable staff. Historical. Wonderful exhibits. Great educational experience!

I had a great time! The Black Pride NYC Heritage Awards was held here & it was great as always!

The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture is a remarkable institution that offers an enriching and enlightening experience. During my visit, I was profoundly impacted by the depth and breadth of knowledge available. The center's exhibits are not only visually stunning but are also rich in content, providing a comprehensive overview of Black history and culture. The wealth of information presented is vast and varied, covering a wide range of topics that are both educational and engaging. The beautifully curated exhibits allowed me to immerse myself in the stories and achievements of Black individuals throughout history, contributing significantly to my understanding and appreciation of their immense impact on our world. The Schomburg Center is undoubtedly a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of Black history and culture.

A great museum to go to . there should be a comic con here twice a year .
