The museum is the first and only African-American children’s museum in the country.  The museum is named after Bronzeville, where African-Americans settled in Chicago after coming from the south.  Exhibits are designed for children ages 3 to 9.  You may choose from the following tours: Motherland to Chicago, Food Becomes You and African-Americans in the Food Industry, and Tour of Bronzeville Landmarks.
