Visited the museum for the Dearborn coffee week closing day panel event at the museum that was organized by mayor Abdullah Hammoud and his team. It was my first time at the museum I really liked it as it does a good job at explaining the Arab heritage. Definitely recommend visiting the museum if you’re in Dearborn
We really enjoyed this museum. There is a lot to read and take in on the second floor. It was interesting to find out the Arabic ancestry of many familiar people. Also interesting to see the stories of many immigrants. We appreciated the even treatment of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Park in the back. Enter in the front/street side.
A lovely museum with lots of great information and a unique array of exhibits. There is a lot of interactivity to keep adults and children engaged, with some puzzles and games for kids. I cannot put into words how wonderful it feels to walk through a place that speaks about you in a way that elevates your being. The staff were warm and welcoming, and also full of fun facts and conversation.

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!

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.
