Nestled in a 140-year-old three-story Victorian twin home in Germantown, Philadelphia, The Colored Girls Museum is a one-of-a-kind institution dedicated to celebrating the lives, experiences, and histories of Black women. Unlike conventional museums, this intimate and immersive space curates everyday objects, personal narratives, and artistic works that honor and uplift the voices of “Colored Girls” throughout history
Founded by Vashti DuBois, the museum serves as both a cultural sanctuary and a storytelling space where visitors can experience exhibitions rooted in history, personal identity, and the resilience of Black womanhood. Each room within the house is transformed into a curated gallery, displaying artifacts, art, and personal heirlooms contributed by Black women from all walks of life. The rotating exhibits highlight themes such as legacy, healing, activism, and joy, offering visitors a deeply personal and reflective experience.
More than just a museum, The Colored Girls Museum operates as a living institution, featuring artist residencies, workshops, guided tours, and community dialogues that foster discussions on race, gender, and culture. It is a must-visit for those looking to engage with the rich and often overlooked narratives of Black women, told in their own words and through their own artifacts.
