It was ok, I did enjoy the two stories in a certain room. Very much, it was enlightening to know some of the things our people endured. Its not a typical museum, nor is it as historical as I suspected, thats why I give it 4 stars, for a free museum it was pretty interesting.

Great free museum and while the space is not the largest, there is a ton of content spread throughout a few distinct exhibitions. A little bit far away from the light rail station and it happened to be pouring heavy rain that day and the parking lot flooded which made walking across the partially flooded parking lot quite uncomfortable. Staff is friendly and great educational experience.

Incredible gem. The building itself is spectacular. You will gawk in awe at the Ethiopian temple inspired dome and flooring. It s absolutely breathtaking. Once you pick your jaw back up you ll promptly drop it again once you see the art. My personal favorites from this visit were the gorgeous folk quilts and the stunning photos of East Texas. The history exhibits are equal parts informative, inspiring and heartbreaking. You ll definitely get a little moist under the eyelids listening to and reading the experiences they ve gathered. The lady they have doing guest services is so helpful and a treat to have a conversation with. Very welcoming. I learned so much and had a very nice afternoon there. I would come back even if they charged admission but the fact that something so cool is free to the public is a blessing. Also, weird perk, but they have the coldest water fountains in Fair Park. (Also free) Great place!

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.

I went on Juneteenth, which was a perfect day to reflect on the past while looking forward to the future. The facility, albeit modest, is quite spectacular. The installations are powerful, poignant, and inspirational. Several photographs reduced me to tears. Overall, regardless of ethnicity, everyone should see this work of art.

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.

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, dont touch the art or any other objects. Ive gone with people who like to put their paws on everything, dont be that person, respectfully. Peace and blessings to the readers of this review.

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.

One of the saddest representations of a museum Ive ever experienced. We arrived within 30min of the museum closing, and were 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. Dont waste your time.
