Museum of African American History & Culture

, ,

Washington, D.C.

Located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture is more than a museum; it’s a living archive of Black resilience, creativity, and contribution. From Emmett Till’s glass casket to vibrant displays of hip-hop, sports, and fashion, every floor invites you into a layered story that feels both intimate and collective. The architecture itself is symbolic, inspired by Yoruba art and rooted in reflection. It’s not just a space to learn, it’s a space to feel, remember, and celebrate. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, the experience will sit with you long after you leave. It’s a necessary stop for anyone seeking to understand the depth, beauty, and impact of African American culture in shaping the world.

Established in 1974 and officially opened in 1983, MOPA is one of the few museums in the United States solely dedicated to the collection and conservation of photography. Its primary objective is to inspire, educate, and captivate a diverse range of visitors by showcasing and safeguarding photography, film, and video. MOPA's mission encompasses the exhibition, acquisition, and protection of these art forms, ensuring their appreciation and accessibility for a wide audience. Please enjoy the gallery below!

"AMERICA TOO"

, ,

AMERICA TOO is the third collaboration this year by Murakami & Abloh; with previous shows “Future History” being in London & “Technicolor 2” in Paris it was only a matter of time before the duo brought a show to USA. The two have a natural chemistry that seems to work well whenever they decide to collaborate on a project. This is not limited to just art, but fashion as well…with Virgil Abloh being the Creative Director of Louis Vuitton, it is likely for them to work together under the high fashion brand seeing as how Takashi Murakami started a relationship with Louis when he designed this bag in 2003. But for now we can appreciate the work they do have out, Gagosian in Beverly Hills was host of “AMERICA TOO” which was on display from October 10th thru the 25th.

For a recap of opening day you can visit their website here and checkout the gallery below.

“They gone think I won a Grammy”
— Future Hendrix

The Grammy Museum located in the heart of Los Angeles, right next to the infamous LA Live is a must see on your next trip to LA. This museum is one of the few to be interactive; being able to engage with different items in the gallery made the experience much more enjoyable. Aside from educating visitors on the vast list of grammy winners, you get a chance to learn about different musical genres & how music came about in some cultures. Oh, and they also have Michael Jacksons glove and Ray Charles glasses on display along with many more historical music artifacts. Every month the Grammy Museum features different exhibits, this time they teamed up with Warner Bros. to present “The Get Animated Invasion”. This exhibit walks you through the history behind Warner Bros. iconic animations and short films. However, the pop-up only lasted a month so to stay updated on the upcoming & current exhibits you can check here. But for now enjoy the gallery!
