The Reginald F. Lewis Museum is dedicated to highlighting the history, culture, struggles, art, aspirations, achievements and every day realities of African Americans in Maryland. A museum of history and culture, the RFL Museum explores the African American experience through permanent, temporary and special exhibitions, diverse educational programming, and by hosting events and a wide range of performances and presentations. The Reginald F. Lewis Museum is dedicated to engaging visitors of all ages and backgrounds in a dialogue encompassing all facets of the African American (and therefore American) experience – historical & contemporary, victories & defeats, sorrows & joys. The RFL Museum has an extraordinarily committed and creative staff, including 21 full time staff and 11 contractors, an annual operating budget of $4 million, no debt, and occupies an 82,000 sq. ft. building with over 13,000 sq. ft. dedicated to exhibition space.
