The Universal Hip Hop Museum, now operating as The Hip Hop Museum, is a Bronx-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit institution dedicated to documenting, preserving, and celebrating hip hop culture. Billed as the first cultural institution devoted fully to the genre, it is developing a new facility along the Harlem River at Bronx Point, described on its site as opening in 2026. In the meantime, the museum operates the Culture Lab, a pop-up exhibition and programming space open Wednesday through Saturday, alongside membership programs and educational initiatives aimed at preserving hip hop's legacy in the borough where the culture originated. The museum frames its mission as tracing hip hop's journey 'from the Bronx to the world.'
