The African American Museum of Dallas really does a deep dive into the African American around DFW.

One of the saddest representations of a museum I've ever experienced. We arrived within 30min of the museum closing, and we're greeted stating they were setting up for an event. We were still allowed to stroll to the 2nd floor museum area. It was literally underwhelming. The only thing that was remotely worth it to see was the display about Freedman cemetery. They put more care into the event they were hosting than the museum itself. This should be called an event hall. Don't waste your time.

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!

I enjoyed my visit here. I was immediately greeted by a staff member that told me about the intentional design of the building as well as a review of the permanent and current exhibits. My favorite on exhibit was the newspaper tapestry and Chuckie's Inside Out exhibit.

Wonderful art works displayed well as well as unique Black Dallas history. Well worth the visit.

We had an extraordinary visit and an unexpected amazing guide!

When we came, there were few people visiting the museum at the time. The people working in the museum were very friendly. They gave us a short introduction about the museum.

When we were about to start our self guided visit, Mr. Donald came from the second floor and told us that he was going to be our guide. And what an extraordinary guide. He was fun, smart, entertaining, and very knowledgeable about the art, the history, the museum, and everything. So nice and friendly we simply loved him. We were a group of 12 (all family), including a 2.5 year old baby, three teens, and a 73 years old grandpa. Everyone enjoyed it, he encouraged everyone to ask questions engaging us in the tour and history of the museum. Truly great and memorable. The exhibits are absolutely great, beautiful, and amazing pieces of art. Even the museum store has great items to take home.

We 100 % recommend it.
