The Arab American National Museum (AANM) is the first and only museum in the United States devoted to documenting and sharing Arab American contributions that shaped the economic, political and cultural landscapes of American life. The Museum also brings to light the shared experiences of immigrants and ethnic groups, paying tribute to the diversity of our nation.
We tell the Arab American story through the voices and experiences of Arab Americans.

4 months agoWe 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.

2 months agoA 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.

2 months agoVery cool museum! Lots to read, so I didn't get to everything in one visit, but definitely worth the visit! The gift shop was also very cool, and the employees there were very helpful and friendly!

2 months agoThe Arab American National Museum offers a look into unique aspects of the Arab experience in this country. One whole floor is artwork, the other two floors offer an overview of Arab migration, well-known Arab Americans, but also some more in-depth exhibits to familiarize the visitor with Arab culture, religion, and even where Arabs are found in the world and what makes someone an Arab. From elementary to more serious and informative exhibits, this museum should be on your list to visit.
