Las Vegas Natural History Museum African music workshops

Las Vegas Natural History Museum African music workshops

Resilience is the theme of the Las Vegas Natural History Museum’s month-long event, which provides a multi-faceted program that centers on the scientific accomplishments and cultural contributions of Black folks. Alongside a standing exhibition of creative works, there are also Saturday workshops from the likes of Harold Akyeampong (on February 24), a Ghanaian African dance performer. His demonstration on African musical instruments and their impact on music around the world is a great way to not only engage folks of all ages, but also give insight into the music-making process, which can be vague and generally unknown to the average listener. Once you’re done checking out Akyeampong’s performance, consider a lap around the rest of the exhibition and the museum’s permanent collection, and you have a solid morning or afternoon of cultural and educational enlightenment.

Workshops are included with daily admission. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door. Discounts are available for Nevada residents.
