The last Saturday of each month is FREE at MoAD thanks to Kaiser Permanente! 

We kick off THRIVE @MoAD community day on Saturday, April 30 with free admission and an afternoon discussion & demonstration steeped in the history and tradition of the Mbira, the ceremonial instrument of the Zimbabwean people.

Across the globe, museums are increasingly recognized as having a role to play in personal and social well-being that is complementary to the healthcare industry. Studies have shown that engagement with art and culture aid in brain function, processing trauma, and to reducing the stigma of mental health. Museum of the African Diaspora and Kaiser Permanente are committed to increasing access to the positive health outcomes of​ arts engagement and providing resources on overall well-being for our community.
