The Studio Museum in Harlem is a wonderful small museum focused on art created by African Americans. The space is roomy, you're not bumping into other viewers and the works are well lit. It's not a big museum but it's definitely worth seeing. And, while you are in the neighborhood, you can check out the world-famous Apollo Theater which is close by the museum and dine at the Red Rooster or Chez Lucienne. Both restaurants are within a 2 minute walk from the museum. Makes for a very pleasant afternoon. There's no admission charge on Sunday's thanks to Target Stores.

The Studio Museum in Harlem delights in destroying stereotypes. The current exhibit called "Black Cowboys" did that for me.

I was astonished to learn that 25% of the cowboys in the West after the Civil War were black, part of the great majority of cowboys that came from the South after that war.

The photos were collected and arranged by Amanda Hunt, the curator of “Black Cowboy,” who calls it a “small-scale revisionist art history.” The exhibit highlights the ways in which black communities today are celebrating and reclaiming their frontier history, and includes shots of black riders engaging in many aspects of the equestrian arts.

I try to stop by this fine museum every two or three months. There is always something to learn, and 125th Street is constantly fascinating to me.

The Studio Museum was open to the public on Martin Luther King Day.

The museum is a collective of contemporary art and political statements. The intimate space host a collection black artwork.

If you're in Harlem be sure to check it out. Spend 30 minutes to an hour going through the exhibits.

This spot is a great place to see a different side of Manhattan (north of Central Park). Located in a quickly changing portion of Harlem, you could do a walk through, not read anything on the walls, and be done in 45 minutes. Or you could take close to 2 hours to really immerse and LEARN -- which is super cool because then you get go outside and feel like you have a better understanding of the neighborhood. There are different levels inside so be sure to see them all.

Small art museum that highlights the culture, history, and struggles of African-Americans. Loved the beautiful paintings and black-and-white photographs. Free admission every Sunday.
