The George Washington Carver Museum & Cultural Center in Austin, TX is a space dedicated to the preservation and exhibition of African American material culture, history, and aesthetic expression. Through storytelling and connecting local histories to broader narratives of Blackness, the museum celebrates the global contributions of Black people.

The museum offers free admission to the public and encourages visitors to explore the Second Sight exhibition, which delves into the mental pressures arising from personal and political conflict through various art forms. Additionally, upcoming events like the Home-goings exhibition by Irene Antonia Diane Reece provide a platform for celebrating Black lives and traditions.

With rotating art galleries, permanent exhibits honoring African-Americans, educational programs, and a genealogy center, the Carver Museum provides a diverse range of opportunities for visitors to engage with culture, arts, and community. The community garden and sunken stage, recently renovated and reimagined, offer a unique space for events and gatherings behind the museum.
