African American Museum and Library
Built in 1902 through funding from a Carnegie grant, the building housing the AAMLO was originally constructed as the Charles Greene Building. Currently operating as the African American Museum and Library in Oakland CA, the building has been reborn as a unique museum/library devoted to preserving and sharing the experiences of African Americans in Northern California.
Change at the AAMLO is a continual challenge. "In addition to
our permanent exhibits, our goal is to present changing exhibits that can bring history to life and generate excitement for learning about California’s black history and culture," says Museum Director Rick Moss.
Moss notes that the museum had a critical need for temporary walls. The solution, was mila-wall® wall panels.
"The mila-wall® wall panels work well in our space, they enabled a lot of versatility in how we configure exhibits, and the mobility was a big relief for us," says Moss. The mila-wall® wall panels are easy to put up and take down. Our museum staff can do it very quickly on our own."
