The APEX Museum ("African American Panoramic Experience") is a history museum with a black viewpoint. It is located on Auburn Avenue in Atlanta's Sweet Auburn historic area. Mr. Dan Moore created the Apex Museum in 1978. The African-American Panoramic Experience (APEX) Museum's aim is to authentically interpret and portray history from an African-American viewpoint in order to enable all American and foreign visitors better understand and appreciate African-American contributions to America and the globe.

History

The APEX Museum is located in Atlanta's Sweet Auburn historic area, in the historic John Wesley Dobbs building. The structure was constructed in 1910 and once housed the Atlanta Book Depository before being converted into a tyre storage in the 1970s. Dan Moore Sr., a filmmaker, created the APEX Museum in 1978. The building was renovated and restored by the E. R. Mitchell Construction business, following which the APEX Museum moved in; it has been running continuously in the same location since its inception. The APEX Museum is currently a key feature of Sweet Auburn's African-American historic and cultural center.  It is close to the Auburn Avenue Research Library and a number of African-American institutions, shops, and historic sites. The APEX Museum is a stop on the United States Civil Rights Trail.
