Northwest African American Museum (NAAM)

The Northwest African American Museum (NAAM) is a cultural institution dedicated to sharing the history, arts, and experiences of African Americans across the Northwest. Through exhibitions, educational programs, and community events, the museum highlights the stories of migration, resilience, and community-building that have shaped the region’s African American heritage.

NAAM’s programming spans visual arts, music, literature, crafts, and historical storytelling, offering visitors a deeper understanding of the diverse and evolving Black experience in the Northwest. By exploring both long-standing communities and more recent immigrant histories, the museum serves as a gathering place for reflection, dialogue, and cultural connection.
