Went with my 8 year old son. As an Arab American I was happy to take my son to a museum that represents him and his background. We go to a lot of museums that represent other cultures and backgrounds and it was nice to go to one that we can relate to. I learned a lot about the first Arab Immigrants to the USA.

A place from the community that gives back to the community. I got the chance to be one of the instructors for their wonderful photography programs “ Sura” for this year which gave me the chance to give back to the little ones. I wish they have more advertising budget for the plenty events that’s goin on on their plate that enriches the community Love working with you guys!

Very amazing and unique museum. The first and only of its kind in the United States telling a full picture of the history and current status of the Arab immigrants to the states since it’s early days more than a century ago. I was so impressed and will visit one more time.

It was amazing we learned about arab history.I learned a lot and they have free wifi thare.

Such a fun place to visit! Its a great place to learn about Arab and Arab American culture. I would definitely recommend!

Great small museum. Appreciate the efforts

I'm always amazed at how much I learn when I visit this museum! Just being reminded America is built on the people who immigrated here is powerful. It can't be separated from our American fiber! It's a good dose of truth. The staff here are helpful, kind and answer any questions. This place has a good feel.

A beautiful space with so much fascinating and poignant content; staff is so friendly and welcoming. Lejla, the Community Events Organizer, is very professional and knowledgeable as well as a joy to work with.

(Translated by Google) Everything here is great .. the exhibition, the staff, the design, I advise you to visit it (Original) كل شيء هنا رائع .. المعرض ، الموظفين ، الديزاين ، انصحكم بزيارته

Very informative and soo much knowledge to take in

What an amazing place. Looking from the outside, you think how much can be in such a small space? Well after 2.5 hours of wandering through the exhibits, I can tell you there is plenty to see. I have always thought Arab = Muslim, but I learned Arabs are also Christian and Jewish. If you are ever in Dearborn, MI, I would recommend a visit.

Very awesome place. My siblings and I really learned a lot. If you do have young children with you, don't go to the basement. The exhibit there talks about discrimination and the imagery is a good representation but not appropriate for children under 12.

So impressed with the museum's recent programming. The quality of these events has been phenomenal -- consistently eye-opening, well-timed and with a strong community focus. I can only assume that this is all the result of wise museum leadership, trusting their young staff members to take the lead on curating events and partnerships. It seems like the museum is going through a "golden generation" moment right now and I really hope it lasts. Please do yourself a favor and don't miss out.

Great experience, attended as part of an assignment for Cultural Anthropology. Our professor is actually the Directors of Education Programs here. As a movie buff, I particularly enjoyed the "in Entertainment" section! The building is filled with beautiful art and imagery. If you have an opportunity to take a tour or visit the gift shop take a look.

An absolute must see Museum if: You are Arab, have Arab Friends or Family, love the Arab World and culture, or simply want to expand your knowledge base. YES, Jews can be Arabs. YES, Christians can be Arabs, and of course Muslims have a large Arabic proportion. Be open minded, visit, and LEARN.

I always try to venture out of my comfort zone and gain knowledge through personal experiences and education when traveling. I was so impressed with this museum and the presentation of their artifacts. The history of Arab Americans and their immigration stories are like many other nationalities who struggled coming to America. I strongly recommend this museum, it's a great place to visit if you're in the Detroit area.

Nice

Very educational and absolutely loved the art exhibit. The paintings were really neat and the main floor architecture is beautiful. Must go, a lot of history we were not aware of. Highly recommended. It’s a small museum so 2 hrs is good time.

I love it ❤️ Great Staff, Great Pieces of Art Truly a different experience!!!

Loved this museum! A nice staff and some incredibly interesting pieces of history. An enlightening experience. A must-see in Dearborn!

My trip to Michigan would be empty without the Arab American Museum. As a state known for its diverse culture, I just had to attend the tour at this Museum. The guides were great at speaking and did a wonderful job at making it interactive.

Only had a short time to visit, but will definitely be back.

This is a beautiful museum with amazing culture and art pieces from different parts of the Arab world.

I went on a one-hour group tour with some school mates. I had such a good time! The architecture, paintings, historical artifacts, and overall set-up of the museum was beautiful, engaging, and interesting. I Overall, it was because of our tour guides that this trip went beyond my expectations: she (the main tour guide) and her assistant were incredibly informative, enthusiastic, intelligent, engaging, and patient. A very mind-opening and educational trip (: I would definitely go again!

A must see for anyone interested in the journey of Arab Americans, an immigration story that dates farther back than most people think. The rotating exhibits, performances, and movie screenings are fantastic and pertain to current events. The permanent collection is text-heavy, so give yourself plenty of time. My favorite is the letters exchanged between a young Jordanian woman and her parents after she informs them she is in love with an American man and asks for their blessing in marriage. Read the Arabic original text if you can as it is heartwarming; the English translation is pretty good too.

Watched a play called Burq-OFF. It was fantastic! A must see!

awesome history .......

Great place to learn history.

Volunteering and it was worth my time. Beautiful art work and enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about the Arabic culture.

Very informative and friendly in a beautiful modern building ... park in the back ... enter in the front. I am so glad I finally made time to visit! As a non-Arab, I have always been curious about Islam and the Middle East, and this museum is perfect place to gain an understanding of those questions. I recommend following the phone-guided tour at your own pace. The staff was very friendly and helpful with my questions after my visit too.

Nice place

Very, very informative about people and events of which I had not been aware. Enjoyed the art work in temporary exhibition space.

I went for the 1st time yesterday and it was amazing! The artwork, the various items people brought with them when they moved to the U.S., and the rooftop garden were some of the highlights. Also, our tour guide (Dave) was awesome. He was knowledgeable and engaging. I hope to make a return visit.

POS

$8 dollars admission and just $4 for student, which makes it so affordable. It's nice collection of books instruments, and things of Arab, but very little. I think they have plenty of things to add here. Second floor have belonging of American Arab when they came here. You could check all the museum in hour -2 hours I'd say, and 4 dollars to enjoy seeing these collections are worth it.

Beautiful. Especially for arab kids born in America to understand the history of Arab Americans.

Everyone must visit this is a super clean museum with friendly faces!

I visited this museum with my husband and mother-in-law on Sat. Jan. 6, 2024. We spent two hours there and did not even see all of it - we never got to the lower level or finished the second floor. There were only a few other people in the museum with us so we had lots of space. We learned so much. There is so much interesting information. The first floor had great displays highlighting the history of Arab music, the development of writing, numbers, buildings, science discoveries and the three monotheistic religions. On the second floor, they have a changing map over the steps that shows you the early history of Arab nations, what countries are now considered Arab, associated, as well as North African. This was very helpful. There are lots of interesting displays on this floor highlighting Arab Americans and their contributions in music, business, charity, science, humanities, etc. (you must walk away from this museum able to list at least five famous Arab Americans if you could not before you went), then more on Arab cooking, Arab immigration to the United States, the problematic stereotyping of Arab Americans in the media, Arab Americans standing up, etc. Most of it is static displays that you have to read but they had some audio and video depictions. I would highly recommend this museum for anyone interested in learning more about Arab Americans and plan to go back to see more. I did have some trouble with the small size and amount of text in the displays as I spent much of the two hours just reading.

We had a wonderful event in their Annex and everything was perfect . The high quality system and arraignments made for a memorable occasion

Beautiful exhibits and very good educational experience for all !

Great work highlighting the comprehensive Arab American experience.

This place looks small from the outside so makes you think it can’t possibly be any good but once you go inside, it’s absolutely amazing how much you can learn. Arabic or not, you will enjoy every moment you spend in this beautiful museum. I love it and can’t wait to bring the kids along for the next visit.

Awesome pieces and very interesting history. Staff are very pleasant

Very educated place

(Translated by Google) Small museum but well documented, I bought the book from the museum. We learn that Arab migrants (Middle East) have also participated in the history of the USA. Even in the days of the Wild West or in the Titanic (I also found the trace among the victims of the sinking of the two cousins ​​of my grandmother. She had vaguely told me about her two cousins ​​a long time ago who wanted to realize their American dream and who perished to the despair of their mother before even setting foot in the United States. I was moved to find their name in the list of the many victims of the sinking.) (Original) Petit musée mais bien documenté, j’ai acheté le livre du musée. On apprend que les migrants arabes (Moyen-Orient) ont participé eux aussi à l’histoire des USA. Même au temps du far West ou dans le Titanic (j’ai d’ailleurs retrouvé la trace parmi les victimes du naufrages des deux cousins de ma grand-mère. Elle m’en avait vaguement parlé il y a longtemps de ses deux cousins germains qui voulaient réaliser leur rêve américain et qui ont péri au grand désespoir de leur mère avant même de poser les pieds aux Etats-Unis. J’ai été émue de retrouver leur nom dans la liste des nombreuses victimes du naufrage.)

Very interesting history and culture. Makes all of us proud to be American

Small museum packed with information. The staff was friendly, answering a question I had for a class assignment. There were multiple interactive pieces, pictures, audio, artifacts, etc. Student price was $4. Cute gift shop.

Exceeded my expectations. Very original.

It is a great place to understand the history.

Beautiful place

Truly helpful stuff.

The Arab American National museum is a very nice place to go and really learn about Arab Americans.

Great place to teach kids about arab American history and the relationship between
