Beck Cultural Exchange Center
The Beck Cultural Exchange Center is a museum in Knoxville, Tennessee. The museum was established in 1975 to preserve the city's history,[1] but its mission subsequently broadened to tell the story of the history and culture of African-Americans in East Tennessee.[2]
The Center's collection includes more than fifty thousand artifacts, and a 2022 expansion into the Delaney Museum, which will honor Beauford Delaney and Joseph Delaney in the artists last home, will allow the center to better showcase those artifacts.[3][4][5]
