MUSEUM OF THE AFRICAN DIASPORA
San Francisco, California, USA, 2001–05
The Museum of the African Diaspora celebrates the origin of humanity in Africa, as well as the history, culture and accomplishments of African Americans. The Freelon Group designed the building, Sussman/Prejza designed the exhibits and Lord Cultural Resources developed the master plan and content that led to a most successful opening in San Francisco in December 2005.
In 2010, the Museum of the African Diaspora received the SF Weekly Best of Award in the category for Museum: “There is nowhere else like this. Its mission and reason for being are so rare, and the execution so flawless, that the 2005 addition to the downtown museum district has become a flaming jewel in the area's already-crowded art crown.”
