International African American Museum

March 2, 2023

Heating, cooling and humidity issues have forced officials to delay the scheduled January opening of the International African American Museum in Charleston. The Post and Courier quotes spokeswoman Keisha Kirkland as saying that while the museum and city of Charleston have been working with contractors to fix the problems, it's become clear over the past two weeks that they would not be resolved in time for the scheduled Jan. 21 festivities. Museum officials have said previously that environmental fluctuations could damage the art and artifacts planned for the space.

Organizers say the International African American Museum won't open in January as planned because of humidity and temperature issues with the building in Charleston, South Carolina. The museum said in a statement that environmental fluctuations could damage artifacts planned to be on display.
