The building eschews a certain Eastern feeling. Its domed architecture and mosaic art impress upon the visitor the yore of Mecca, or Medina, or Mesopotamia. The eclectic art, the stenciled figures and beautiful browns and oranges, the deep crimsons and maroons, unearth a Middle-Eastern aura, a religiosity and culture from across the world. But the technology, the art, the people, the place, the city, are distinctly American.
Or, more appropriately, Arab-American.
The Museum
Set in the heart of the most highly populated Arab haven outside of the Middle East, the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn is the first of its kind—the first structure in the world dedicated to the experience that is Arab American.
An affiliate of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C., the museum, with standing history exhibits, cycled art exhibits, and a myriad of educational, cultural and art exhibits and shows, is a historical walk-through of the experience of a people underrepresented in the United States and historied throughout the world.
