Michael Sullivan: Wonderful museum and the layout I found was perfect. They do like a beginning of life all the way to foundation of blacks in Detroit. It's so much to look at and read when you are walking threw, that it can take you up to 2hrs to finish if you take the time to soak in all the information each display offers. I would give a perfect 5 but at the time I want, it was almost 80 degrees outside, and they didn't have the AC on. So it was kind of uncomfortable. But that's just me nitpicking.
Jeanne Martens: Very well done, there's so much to learn and see.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No Price for adult entry $11–15 …More

Fabiola Xhamxhi: I went to the Charles H. Wright Museum with my community health class. This museum and our tour guy Sammy, did a great job teaching and refreshing the African history. This was a great opportunity to shine light on how hard African/African Americans worked to end segregation, gain equality, and be free. The museum itself was beautiful. And again, our tour guy was amazing!
Paloma: Please check this museum out of you're visiting Detroit and need something to do. You will learn so much about the history of African Americans and the culture that was taken away and reborn. I had the option of going to the Institute of Arts, but I'm so glad I chose this museum instead.

Ta.Abraham Green: Not a good experience the workshop was to be aimed towards teenagers and no teenagers were there. No digital art only old school drawing techniques. The workshop instructor did not introduce herself just started talking and giving vague instructions. The instructor was not welcoming and was not professional on any level needless to say we walked out after 20mins. Wont be going back.
Ricky Ferreyra: Always a pleasure seeing the exhibits
