Incredible to see the history. Also is very haunting being at the place of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

It is moving and somewhat horrifying to stand in the spot where Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered. An important historical site. The adjacent museum is devoted to chronicling the civil rights movement and the progress that has been made.

The site is under renovations at the moment, so it's hard to imagine what is to come, but right now the museum relies heavily upon video clips, timelines and photos. Not much interactive opportunity. Regardless, the theme and the information is sobering and important. It will be interesting to visit again once the renovations are made.

A large part of this museum was closed because of renovations happening at the time.

The museum is very informative and because it is in the rooming house where James Earl Ray was staying it was very authentic.

You can spend a few hrs here very intresting teaches you to value life and to fight for what you believe in. Raies some interesting theorys about dr m luther kings assaination well worth a visit

I felt really old after I left the museum, but it is a moving experience. I am a very proud American of Irish heritage and I am humbled by the people honored at this museum. So much occurred and so much has changed and this stands as a beacon for all to see what can be accomplished with perserverance and... More

This was the 2nd visit for me. We arrived 40 years and 1 day after the assassination. I noted that while the motel is undergoing repair for which the guides unnecessarily apologized, the new display area had loads of information. It left the visitor to ponder much, but what was astounding to this Canadian was the message of reconciliation. Once... More

A must stop for all of us who want to be inspired once again by one of our greatest Americans. I hadn't realized the hotel where MLK was shot had been preserved and incorporated into the museum. It was chilling to stand where he stood and see the window ajar from where he was shot across the street. Museum is... More
