BALTIMORE — The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum is the first African American history wax museum in the nation.
It is a historical treasure right here in Baltimore.
It’s a place where the stories of African Americans across the world come to life.
From Ancient Africa to slavery, the Civil Rights era and everything in between.
Today and yesterday’s history are all in one place.
Recently, they’ve added a new exhibit, by renowned creator, artist and professor Stephen Hayes. His work connects the past and the present in an emotional display.
Hayes gave WJZ us a glimpse of his space in North Carolina while he teaches at Duke University.
“This is my —the studio and the classroom,” said Hayes.
His work has made its way North to The National Great Blacks in Wax Museum in Baltimore.
“You are not only an observer, you are a participant,” co-founder and president Dr. Joanne Martin told WJZ.
