General Info:

African American Museum

Description

For more than 25 years, the African American Museum has stood as a cultural beacon in Dallas. It is the only museum in the Southwest United States devoted to the preservation and display of African American artistic, cultural and historical materials. It also has one of the largest African American folk art collections in the United States. The African American Museum incorporates a wide variety of visual art forms and historical documents that portray the African American experience in the United States, Southwest, and Dallas. The main objective of the museum is the presentation of meaningful experiences for children and adults who would not ordinarily visit a museum. The rich heritage of black art and history is housed in four vaulted galleries, augmented by a research library. Living African American culture is experienced through entertaining and educational programs presented in the theater, studio arts area and classrooms. The museum's permanent collections include African art, African American fine art, and magazine, historical, political and community archives. Information from the museum's site
