The International African American Museum
Located at historically significant Gadsden’s Wharf in Charleston, South Carolina, the International African American Museum aims to tell the full story of the African American journey and its connection to Charleston. Nine distinct galleries examine how enslaved and free Africans shaped economic, political and cultural development in the United States and beyond. Admitted through timed entry, visitors move through the spaces: the Transatlantic Experience, the Atlantic Worlds Gallery, the South Carolina Connections Gallery, the Gullah Geechee Gallery, the American Journeys Gallery, the Carolina Gold Gallery, the African Roots Gallery, The Theater and the Special Exhibitions Gallery. Guests also gain access to the African Ancestors Memorial Garden, which reflects on the role Gadsden’s Wharf held during the height of the slave trade. Between 1783 and 1807, an estimated 100,000 West Africans landed here. AAA is a sponsor of this museum, and AAA Members receive discounts on admission, private tours and genealogy services.
