Museum for African Art

This captivating museum is a leading organizer of temporary -- and usually excellent -- exhibits dedicated to historic and contemporary African art and culture. In September 2002, the museum moved out of its old SoHo space and into a long-term temporary home in Long Island City (the same building where the Isamu Noguchi Museum is temporarily housed), which it will occupy until its new Museum Mile home is ready on Fifth Avenue between 109th and 110th streets. Weekend and evening programs include music and dance performances, art-making workshops, family events, and more; call or check the website for the current schedule.
