African American Museum

Nice space, but no AC! Beautiful stair case to have stunning events at! You have to be present to set up everything on your own! Ensure to note when planning an event here, you do a walkthrough to see what you need! Lovely spacing downstairs and upstairs to dance the night away!

This a great museum to explore Dallas black history. For it to be a nonprofit museum, it was a very nice experience.

As we walked in we were quickly acknowledged and greeted. The nice gentleman gave us an over view of the museum and it's exhibits. Museum exhibits are set up very nice with a lot of information to educate you on each piece.Hubby and I enjoyed walking through each exhibit and meditating on each piece and the history behind it. The museum is free to get in which is awesome. This allows anyone to come in and experience what it has to offer without worrying about any financial limits it maybe impose by charging. So glad we took the time and went to see what the African American Museum has to offer and educate us on. These are things not taught in school. And don't forget to stop by the store, it has a lot of really nice souvenirs you can buy and affordable prices.

I visited on a recent quiet Saturday morning to see a South African exhibition. It's nice but it would be great to see more AA works of art in this museum. The SA exhibition was a little different but I still enjoyed it. I hope the City of Dallas will do more colourful exhibitions like this one in the future.

A good museum leaves you with something you'll remember. This museum has a wealth of knowledge and resources. Parking is free and there are several spots. Admission was also free making this a great place to visit on a hot summer day. The exhibits are impactful and memorable. It's becoming a bit dated (carpet, design, etc.), but the content is up to date. There are memberships for sale that give you access to private events and a nice gift shop near the main entrance / exit.

Great staff! Updated exhibits and step into the past and future. Very nice architecture in the building.

Educational birthday weekend fun. This exhibit is not very big, but as very interesting content. Me and my family learned a few extra things by visiting. Most of the art seems like it's from locals and are made in different ways with different materials. There is no certain price to come in, but you can donate which I highly recommend to keep this available for others to enjoy. It's two stories, but most of the exhibit pieces are on the second floor there's a few on the first. All in all it took us about 30 to 45 minutes to get through this exhibit, that's with us reading the text as we walked. There's also a few interactive question areas for you to learn more information. You should definitely come show your support to this museum.

Inspiring. It is free of admission and the exhibits rotate. Extremely relevant and speaks to our time. The museum takes advantage of the technology and speaking to tbe social climate. I advise everyone to visit because, you will learn something and have your thoughts provoked. Clean, spacious, excellent lighting and everyone who worked there was so polite. It's a must!

I've lived in dallas for almost 30 years and this was the first time i've step foot in this museum. However, it won't be the last. This is a very nice collection of Dallas area history and artifacts. It's really a well presented and documented way to see and learn about this part of Dallas history. This is a real gem and I recommend you visiting. Parking: You can ride the train and walk 3 min from the Fair Park dart rail. Or you can pay to park your vehicle in their parking lot. Cost: Free

I loved this museum! The art was beautiful, it taught me many things about African American history, and it showed me things of my culture. This museum made me very happy and I am proud of being African American, my culture, and my ancestors history!
