Hammonds House Museum sits at 503 Peeples Street SW in Atlanta, Georgia, in a historic house that has been given over to the study and display of African American art and artists. Its full name, the David T. Hammonds House Museum, is often shortened in everyday use.
What you will see
The museum's collection features works by renowned African American artists, and its galleries are arranged so that visitors move through the house room by room. Alongside the permanent holdings, the museum hosts rotating contemporary exhibitions, so the programme you find on one visit may differ from the next.
Why visit
- A house museum setting, which gives the visit a more intimate scale than a large gallery
- A focus on African American art and artists, with works by well-known figures in the field
- Changing contemporary shows that reward a return trip
