A new front view rendering (image provided by S9 Architects for the future home of Hip Hop History and Culture (Universal Hip Hop Museum). This is the realization of 9 1/2 years of sacrifice, commitment and hard work to ensure that a history that was started by black and brown youth is properly preserved, archived and celebrated.
Many design, programming and operating details are still being worked out, but I can assure everyone that this museum will be like none other. A leading edge multi-dimensional cultural institution anchored in the South Bronx, that not only curates one of America’s greatest treasures, but also serves as an educational, economic and workforce development resource. The UHHM has a greater cultural and social responsibility to not only ensure that future generations have access to our history, but to provide future resources and entrepreneurial programs to empower the people who live in the community.
