Griot Museum of Black History

"This is one of the best museums I have ever visited. It tells a story of Saint Loius you won't learn anywhere else. The wax figures are very life-like and the layout is easy to follow. The gift shop is full of hand crafts at inexpensive prices. Worth the time and money to visit."

"Very informative look at the Black history in the Americas and St Louis in particular. Lots to see and much to learn! Very cool displays, and even extremely detailed wax figures!"

"[Visit: April 6, 2024] First visit and experience in St. Louis! Super cute museum. The atmosphere is very calm and peaceful. The young lady at the entrance (who also answered the phone) was extremely welcoming and pleasant. She answered all of my questions prior to arriving, gave a brief introduction to the museum, and provided a handy quiz. The museum recommends that the entrance area be the only area where photos can be taken, along with the gift shop. Most visitors have respected those requests (please continue to honor that request). This museum is excellent for small groups (i.e., 7-10 people), however, medium to large groups should definitely schedule a visit. This will allow the group to enjoy the museum as a whole, as well as complete the quiz without interfering with other guests. All ages, levels of school, and types of communities are sure to gain insights, as well as test their skills in museum details. There is an option to check and verify answers at the end. Free street parking is available in front and around the museum. I do hope the museum will expand. It was a pleasure."

"Great place work tons of information. Workers fill with information which made it even greater. You can't take pic but still so worth going to."

"A very interesting museum with unique exhibits that are a mix of entertaining and moving. The Josephine Baker exhibit is beautiful. While the exhibit about the slave trade and the middle passage was heart wrenching and thought provoking. Definitely one of the more unique attractions of St Louis."
