Museum Reviews
My brother used this as the venue for his wedding reception such a beautiful place..
Very informative on many levels, so much to read, view, and educate yourself on.
Went in at the state fair, my mother needed the restroom. However we did exhibit, and it was amazing, our stories be shared was beautiful.
Beautiful space, inviting staff and educational. Would recommend checking it out.
Beautiful history, thank you to everyone who helped to establish this wonderful facility!
Excellent atmosphere and knowledgeable people to assist if you have questionsLove it
What it lacks in interactive experiences, it gains with having orators to tell the stories of times of old. They bring the stories to life with first hand accounts. The artwork is breathtaking. My favorite part was reading the biographies of former slaves.
It was a great experience to learn about the history of black folks in Dallas. Not just images but interviews with some locals that have lived in the area & involved with keeping the story alive. I took my 2 teenage children & they enjoyed ut as well. I can appreciate the fact that admission is free, that gives us all an opportunity to learn about part of our history.
It is absolutely fascinating. The history of African Americans in Dallas from so many different perspectives made the visit both interesting and very educational. School field trips should be led here and the Holocaust and Human Rights Museum to give children of all ages a glimpse into the lives of different cultures that might make them more accepting of others.
This museum is such an amazing experience. I highly recommend it. You learn so many things and there are so many artifacts. I can't wait to go back!
Great experience for the family. Rich culture and knowledge of history.
Beautiful atmosphere, scenery, my new favorite go to on a nice Saturday morning.
It was so hot... I felt like I was about to pass out... It's full of pictures and pictures no story telling... It was pretty boring.
I try to visit several times a year because they switch up their exhibits. Always a nice time! Free entry, so I try to make a donation on my way out and buy a little something from the gift shop. No food or drink is allowed and lastly, don't touch the art or any other objects. I've gone with people who like to put their paws on everything, don't be that person, respectfully. Peace and blessings to the readers of this review.
Nice museum with exhibits that include African American art, music, literary, and culture. This location has a level dedicated to education that includes personal libraries, classrooms, and a theater. When I visited, a 45-50 min film showed about the African diaspora.
Great displays and a refreshing emphasis on local Dallas people and happenings.
I enjoyed it! Very educational! Donate $10 to help keep the museum open and educating for years to come!
This is an amazing museum. All African Americans should visit and take time out to read the articles they have in each section. I went on Saturday the 9th and they had just opened a new exhibit that day. It was small but nice and clean. The other exhibits were more in depth and informative. They had an event going on outside as well which was nice. They had activities for children as well. The gift shop is beautiful. I took a picture in front of the “Black Queens” grass wall and I Waldo purchased a mug, notebook and zip pouch. I will be back and hopefully there will be another event going on when I visit again. The gentleman at the entrance was very informative and professional as well. The restrooms need a lot of work as far as cleaning and being kept up.
A little disappointing. Not what I expected as far as artifacts that were displayed or artwork. There were a lot of paper posters. There were two or three cool things thus the three stars. But it is a free museum so you get what you pay for so to speak.
It’s a free entry museum, have good collection to look around and well maintained. Children’s area is great. The staff welcomed us and gave us a quick introduction about the museum. No drinks or food allowed , has an elevator if needing . And parking can be done just outside for free but do not park at special events parking area . Rest enjoy , the average time u can spend is 2 hrs .
What a gem! Beautiful artwork. The entire museum is beautiful. We really didn’t know what to expect, but this place was amazing. There’s a ton of historical stories. It’s worth your time!
