Mission Statement:

The Museum of African Culture is a not-for-profit organization created to educate others through the use of art, music, storytelling, films, poetry, literature, healing ceremonies and other Sub-Saharan African cultural traditions, to interpret and preserve a unique collection of African art and artifacts, and to enrich the communities of Maine and beyond through the celebration of diversity.

The Museum has reached an audience of over one million people through its substantial tour and public events and educational programs. The Museum endeavors to speak to all people through the power and messages embodied in its collection. The art and artifacts contained in the Museum have much to teach.
