Oddly, I couldn't find a map either. Here is what I can tell you...Entry is on the 1st floor. There are two gift shops and a cafe on the first floor as well. All of the exhibits are on the third floor. There are two elevators and stairs that can be used to access the third floor. Each of the exhibit halls are located off of a large concourse.

Hello - I'm looking for a spot to host our company holiday party. We'd like to account for 30 people and have food and drinks catered. Can you please tell me what options that you offer for this? Thank you!

I think that you would need to speak directly to the museum itself for any availability. I would have no way of knowing what they could offer. Sorry!

Inspiring Beauty: 40 Years of the Ebony Fashion Fair runs from May 22 to August 16. Stunning gowns and one-of-a-kind ensembles by haute couture designers such as Christian Dior, Patrick Kelly, and Vivienne Westwood are featured in this multisensory re-creation of the pioneering fashion fair that helped redefine beauty, style, and empowerment for African American women everywhere. Inspiring Beauty is the first exhibition to explore the Ebony Fashion Fair, which traveled worldwide, including here in Minnesota, and its director-producer Eunice W. Johnson, through fifty years of vision, innovation, and power. A traveling exhibit from the Chicago History Museum, Inspiring Beauty opens with an evening fashion event on May 21.
