Wow! Who knew this place was even here and FREE on Thursdays!! Stumbled upon this museum today while walking an alternate route in the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall. I am so glad I came in to check it out!
Currently there's a Kahil Joseph exhibit w his film. Two screens side by side show video footage depicting life in Compton paired with Kendric Lamar's music make the experience pretty powerful. Really unique. Gift shop has some cool stuff too, including "eracism" t-shirts.
Friendly, helpful staff that offer free tours of all the contemporary exhibits. Nice that you can spend as much or as little time in here and don't have to feel guilty with free admission all day on Thursdays. Also free on Fridays and Saturdays after 5pm.
Relatively small museum but it's the perfect place to check out and get a nice reprieve from the heat.
