Universal Hip Hop Museum is a non-profit organization headquartered in the US. Founded in 2014, the organization employs approximately 50 individuals. Its main product is museums. The Universal Hip Hop Museum is dedicated to the preservation of Hip Hop Culture, which originated 40 years ago in the South Bronx, and is scheduled to open in 2024 at the Bronx Point. Its Board of Trustees includes Nana Ashhurst, Rocky Bucano, Adam Silverstein, Keith Clinkscales, Young Woo, Reginald Peters, and Greg Mack. The museum's executive committee, comprising LL Cool J, Nas, and Ice T, oversees the mission to preserve and celebrate the entire arc of hip hop history.
The Hip Hop Museum is set to become a permanent home for the genre in the Bronx as a notable U.S. city attraction for 2026. This follows its appointment of Indira A. Abiskaroon Valbuena as Creative Director and Director of Curatorial Affairs on February 18, 2026. Earlier in February, the museum launched its Black History Month Hip Hop Book Series and the "1 Dollar 1 Mic 1 Movement" campaign, underscoring its commitment to education, literacy, and cultural preservation. On February 3, 2026, Smithsonian magazine named it among the top ten most anticipated museum openings globally for the year. Previously, on December 2, 2025, Resorts World New York City and Nas announced a shared $2 million donation toward the museum's construction in The Bronx.
