History on display
Permanent Collection
Welcome to the Reginald F. Lewis Museum’s Collections page. Through this link you will be able to fully explore the objects, documents, artworks and photographs from our collection of more than 10,000 objects that are not currently on exhibit. Our collections tell the story of African American Marylanders using objects dating from 1784 up to the present day. Some objects were acquired by the museum; others were generously donated by members of our community. The digitization project is active and new objects are published online regularly, please check back to continue your exploration.
