Museum of African American Innovation and Invention
Every invention has a room. Every inventor has a name.
A working collections platform and a museum you can walk through. Each collection opens into its own gallery; artifacts hang on walls you turn to face. Every record carries its sources, its rights statement, and an honest note about what the museum does and does not hold.
