Program / Event Details

2-hour in-person tour of Sankofa Children’s Museum of African Cultures.                                    For most children, this would probably be their first introduction to African history, cultures and studies. For this reason, we make every effort to present materials that are appropriate to the age groups and even more importantly, we make this an interactive and fun experience for all! Age groups: We have been told that our museum truly offers an experience for children of all ages and we strive to offer programs for every age group, from 1st graders to Senior Citizens.        We are open Wednesdays through Fridays and require 48 hours advance booking and payment on our website: https://sankofakids.org.                                                                                                       If you have questions, please call first! 410-708-7046.
