Hip Hop Museum

The Hip Hop Museum in the Bronx was founded in 2015 by hip hop pioneers as a permanent home for a culture born in the borough that went on to influence music and popular culture worldwide. Originally launched as the Universal Hip Hop Museum and renamed in 2023, it is planned for Bronx Point on Exterior Street near Sedgwick Avenue, closely linking it to hip hop’s origins. The project includes exhibition galleries, community space, and a 300-seat theatre. Ground was broken in 2021, but pandemic-related construction delays moved the planned opening from 2023 to 2026. A temporary exhibition introduced the museum’s early public programming.
