This post is very incomplete, as my only experience in downtown Dearborn up until now is a quick drive through and a couple of visits to the Arab American National Museum. I also don’t have any photos other than the outside of the museum.
Arab American National Museum
The Arab American National Museum opened in 2005 and is a great place to visit while in Dearborn. It was the first museum dedicated to Arab American history and culture. General admission is US$8 (as of February 2024) and the museum is open Thursday through Saturday from 11am to 6pm. There’s free parking in the lot behind the building.
The ground floor of the museum focuses on Arab culture and contribution to society, such as science, art, mathematics, medicine, and architecture. The second floor features exhibits on the Arab American experience, with a focus on immigration and life in America. There’s also a gallery dedicated to the contributions of Arab Americans in fields such as politics, sports, business, medicine, and more.
Next Time
On a future visit to the museum and city, I plan to spend more time there. I’ll be able to elaborate and add more attractions.
