National Great Blacks in Wax Museum

Additional Information

Visit the National Great Blacks In Wax Museum, America's first and only wax museum of African American history and culture. The museum houses more than 100 life-size and lifelike wax figures presented in dramatic and historical scenes, and takes you through the pages of time with wax figures featuring special lighting, sound effects and animation. Harriet Tubman, Benjamin Banneker and Billie Holiday, as well as many other national figures, chronicle the history of African people from around the globe. The experience is highlighted by a dramatic walk through a replica of a slave ship complete with Middle Passage history.
