MoAD | Press Room

This online press room has been developed for the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) as a resource for media professionals. Here you will find the latest press releases and press kit components. High-resolution images for publication (media use only) are available in each of the exhibition sections presented below.

This site is intended to supplement the one-on-one services our firm provides for MoAD. The information covers exhibitions starting in September 2010. For information prior, please contact mediarelations@moadsf.org. We look forward to working with you. Thank you for your interest in MoAD.
