The International African American Museum won’t open in January as planned because of humidity and temperature issues with the building in Charleston, South Carolina.
“Museums require extremely stringent humidity controls in order to display the most sensitive of items for extended periods of time,” the statement said. “This delay is necessary to ensure that the museum building achieves the conditions necessary to preserve and protect our most sensitive objects, artifacts, and art.”
The museum is at the former Gadsden Wharf, where tens of thousands of enslaved Africans first entered America.
