Where was the Studio Museum’s first location?

The Studio Museum opened in 1968 in a space above a liquor store on Fifth Avenue and 125th Street in Harlem, a neighborhood in New York City central to Black creativity. It provided a creative space for Black artists during a time when most cultural institutions were located downtown and rarely showed the work of Black Americans.
