Studio Museum in Harlem

The Studio Museum is the foremost exhibitor of the work of African-American artists in the United States. The permanent collection contains works by James Van Der Zee, who photographed Harlem scenes and celebrities from the 1920s through the '80s; important African and Caribbean artifacts; and paintings by post-World War II artists. An outdoor sculpture garden displays large-scale works.
