Join The International African American Museum This Month: 4 Unignorable Reasons.
Charleston is known for many things, from its unique architectural splendor to its rich cultural history. One defining aspect of Charleston’s history resides at the International African American Museum – a living testament to the centuries-old journey of African Americans. Situated directly on the grounds of Gadsden’s Wharf, where an estimated 40% of African captives first set foot on American soil, the museum is an essential vehicle for understanding the historical and present-day African American experience. This month, the revered institution opens its doors wider with an irresistible membership offer that includes a 10% discount using the code IAAM24. Here are four compelling reasons why you should consider becoming a member:
1. Deep Connection to African American History
The museum isn’t just a repository of African American artifacts; it stands on the very ground that was the entry point for many Africans brought to America. This deep connection helps to underscore the vivid history presented within the Museum walls. From the moment you set foot in the African Ancestors Memorial Garden, you’re taken on an emotionally resonant journey through the African American narrative.
2. Unparalleled Access to Exhibitions
Becoming a member gives you unlimited general admission throughout the year. This means you can plan multiple visits, allowing time to fully absorb the dynamic exhibits showcasing the African American’s transformative journey on a local and global scale.
3. Exclusive Privileges
Membership privileges extend beyond unrestricted access to the Museum’s exhibits. Members also enjoy free or reduced admission to select programs and exclusive access to members-only events and unique giveaway opportunities. This offers not only a great cultural experience but also the chance to meet and network with like-minded people.
4. Discount Perks
On top of the discount, members receive a 15% discount at the museum shop and on additional admission tickets. This includes Merchandise that could serve as a wonderful gift or keepsake to remember your experience. Better still, the entire month of March brings further coveted discount opportunities, making it the perfect time to register as a member.
The International African American Museum aims to instill, celebrate, and preserve the diverse African American heritage. Becoming a member not only offers you an enriching experience but plays a vital part in sustaining the museum’s mission. With an offer as enticing as this, the opportunity to be part of the museum’s legacy should not be missed.
