The Moorish King invites you... to experience 6000 years of African World History. The Casa del Rey Moro African Museum's unique multimedia exhibits highlight ancient, colonial, and contemporary periods of African History, on the Aftican continent, and throughout the African Diaspora. A special focus of the museum is the African-Spanish, African-Mexican, and African-American heritage in Old Town, San Diego, and California.

The museum has six facets of interest:

The Research Center - Consists of 6000 books in nine languages, 8000 slides in twenty-six presentations, 400 audio-video tapes, high-speed internet access and countless articles, essays and master-doctorate thesis addressing six thousand years of African influences.
