COVID-19 RESPONSE
THE MUSEUM OF AFRICAN AMERICAN ART (MAAA) remains closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In preparation for reopening, we are implementing the required public safety protocols. We appreciate your continued support as we prepare to welcome visitors back into the museum under the appropriate city, county, and state guidelines for museums.
MAAA is located on the third floor of Macy's at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw. The Macy's Baldwin Hills location reopened to the public on June 8, after closing its stores on March 18. The Baldwin Hills Crenshaw shopping mall closed its main mall space on March 20, reopened on June 15, and was required to close again to comply with Governor Newsom's orders on July 13. The Baldwin Hills Crenshaw mall reopened on Friday, October 9, 2020.
