MoAD: Museum of the African Diaspora Free Museum Day (SF)
MoAD, a contemporary art museum, celebrates Black cultures, ignites challenging conversations, and inspires learning through the global lens of the African Diaspora.
Starting March 2025 Temporary Closure for Building Upgrades
MoAD will be closing to the public temporarily in 2025 to upgrade items in our interior spaces and galleries. Due to this extensive work, the museum will be closed from March through September 2025, but will continue to host programs and events off-site in collaboration with many of MoAD’s local partners. We look forward to welcoming the public back in October 2025 as part of our 20th anniversary celebration!
