Plan Your Visit  

On April 14, 2012, we opened our doors to the public. The Center's opening transformed our ability to offer expanded programming and exhibitions — and to celebrate the strength and beauty of diverse perspectives and people.

As we mark our 10th anniversary in the Museum District, we thank each of you and look forward to a bright future together as we continue to build unity in our community.
