More Information about the Tubman Museum of Art, History and Culture:

The Tubman Museum is the largest museum in the nation dedicated to educating people about the Art, History and Culture of African Americans.

The mission of the Tubman African American Museum is to explore, celebrate and share the rich art and history of African Americans, to be a center of social and civic engagement, and a source of experiences that enrich cultural understanding and inspire positive change.

The school visits include handcrafted educational outreach workshops that cater to the needs of your institution ranging from art to diversity and character building. Students can be guaranteed a fun filled field trip at the Tubman! The field trip will include trip around the museum with a knowledgeable tour guide and a video. Be sure to make use of our added-value services which include an art or craft workshop.

The Tubman African American Museum seeks to align with community organizations, businesses, and institutions of learning through our education programs and services. The mission of the Tubman Museum is to educate people about African American art, history and culture and to promote harmony among all races. In order to fulfill that mission we realize that we must not be bound by the walls of our building. But rather, we must place a focus on outreach into our community and bring the museum resources to them.

We are addressing the most serious issues within our educational system facing both Georgia and the nation. Uniquely positioned as both accessible and acceptable, the museum serves as a safe and non-threatening method of delivering needed information and instruction on a myriad of topics to a critical segment of our population. Some of the tactics involve:

  • Heritage Summer Camp
  • John Oliver Killens Workshop
  • Outreach Teachers
  • After School Instruction
