The African American Museum

The African American Museum (Dallas, Texas) is an American Art museum located at 3536 Grand Avenue in Fair Park in Dallas, Texas. The museum was founded in 1974 and has operated independently since 1979. The 7 million dollar structure, that is now its home, was funded through private donations, and a 1985 Dallas city bond election, which provided 1.2 million towards its construction. The 38,000-square-foot (3,500 m2) structure, built in the shape of a cross, is made of ivory stone. Natural materials and design motifs are used throughout the Museum in a manner reminiscent of pre-industrialized cultures of the African continent.
