Both are a definite must. My former chapter (Baltimore County Alumnae Chapter) funded a figure of Soror Vashti Turley Murphy for the GBIW museum. There is also, if I recall correctly, a display about AKA as well.

The RHL Museum is powerful in the tradition of the Franklin Institute. Using video, live guests and displays, it presents a haunting picture of Black life in MD, esp during and after slavery.

There is a wax figure of a Zeta founder, too.
