Arab American National Museum, Cultural institution in Dearborn, United States.
The Arab American National Museum is an institution in Dearborn that presents Arab history and achievements across two floors. The exhibitions include artifacts, documents, and artworks spanning different periods and fields.
The museum was established in 2005 and displays how Arab scientists and physicians made important contributions to humanity across centuries. These early achievements provide historical context for understanding the Arab experience in America.
The lower level shows how Arab immigrants arrived in America and built their communities, while preserving their connections to their homelands. Visitors see personal objects, photographs, and family stories of those who established new roots.
The museum is located in Dearborn and is affiliated with Smithsonian programs, which means high-quality content and regular new exhibitions. Visitors should allow time to explore both floors and can participate in film screenings or guided tours.
The museum was the first in the world dedicated exclusively to Arab American history, pioneering a new way to document migration stories. This pioneering role makes it a special place for understanding an often overlooked experience.
