The Arab American National Museum (AANM) is the first and only museum in the United States devoted to preserving, documenting and sharing Arab American history and culture. Arab Americans have enriched the economic, political and cultural landscape of American life. By bringing the voices and faces of Arab Americans to mainstream audiences, the Museum continues its commitment to dispel misconceptions about Arab Americans and other minorities.

Since opening in 2005, the Museum has shed light on the shared experiences of immigrants and ethnic groups, paying tribute to the diversity of our nation. In addition to tours and group visits, the AANM also hosts a wide range of educational and public programs, including concerts, workshops, summer camps, Arabic language lessons, and literary events.

The Museum, which is also home to the AANM Store and the Russell J. Ebeid Library & Resource Center, is open to the public Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 12 to 5 p.m.
