Such a disappointment. Some interesting art and things on the walls, but so many broken interactive exhibits. I love Jazz, but it is hard to get anyone involved with it who doesn't have knowledge already, so I understand the challenge. I would have like to have seen more of a mention of the wide spread types of Jazz-acid, bebop, future jazz, influence on rap, etc. I wouldn't go again unless I was nearby and it was free.

Great museum, also right next door is the Negro baseball museum full of history and facts. Just an awesome experience

Every Friday they do Jazz Storytime. It was amazing! The music and singing was so much fun and the kids loved it!

Bring a set of good headphones with you if you can, a lot of the ones they have here don't work well.
