Traveller: “Ten of the world’s greatest immersive travel experiences”
The International African American Museum listed among the 2024 Traveller Awards.
“Hands up if your perfect getaway involves getting under the skin of a destination as a local would – with a few indulgences to boot? From canoeing a sacred river to paying a visit to a South African chief, these hand-picked experiences go beyond the typical leisure holiday, and aim to forge a deeper connection with that destination. Read on for our Traveller Awards 2024 winners in the Immersive category.”
International African American Museum
“This poignant and important museum in Charleston opened in 2023 at the very spot where almost half of all African slaves entered North America. Their inhumane transport – shackled sardine-like in the bellies of ships – is powerfully depicted in the memorial garden, in a work called Tide Tribute. Inside the museum, the history is balanced with stories of survival and triumph. It takes several hours to explore the latest special exhibition and another nine galleries, which include an insight into the Gullah Geechee culture found in coastal areas of the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida.
