The Reginald F. Lewis Museum opened in 2005, representing the character, pride, struggle and accomplishments of Maryland African Americans. It is named for Reginald F. Lewis, a Dunbar High School alum who went on to attend Harvard Law School and became the first African-American CEO of a Fortune 500 company. The award-winning building is one of few in Downtown Baltimore designed by African American architects.The building’s five-story atrium provides ample light to the core of the building, which includes space for special exhibitions, a recording studio, and a 200 seat auditorium and a resource center.
