ATLANTA — Founded in 1978, APEX Museum is the oldest Black history museum in the city of Atlanta. There on Auburn Avenue, inside the century-old building constructed by African American Masons, it‘s Black History Month every month.
APEX “maintains a diverse and educating display by routinely changing its exhibits on a quarterly schedule and is the only museum in Metropolitan Atlanta solely dedicated to telling the rich and often untold story of people of the African Diaspora,” according to the museum’s website.
APEX is an acronym for what visitors can expect at the museum: an African American Panoramic Experience.
