About Museum of the African Diaspora
The Museum of the African Diaspora, known as MoAD, is a contemporary art museum in San Francisco's Yerba Buena Arts District. It presents exhibitions and artists from across the African diaspora and works directly with artists and independent curators rather than holding a permanent collection. It occupies the ground floor of the St. Regis building and also runs education programs, tours, and events. The museum is a nonprofit and a Smithsonian Affiliate.
