African American Museum 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 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.〔(- Dallas Morning News "Guide Live" )〕〔(- Dallas Live Large, Think Big )〕〔(- Art and Seek )〕 ==History==
The African American Museum of Dallas was established in 1974 as a part of the Special Collections at Bishop College, a Historically Black College that closed in 1988. The Museum has operated independently since 1979. The $7 million edifice was funded through private donations and a 1985 Dallas City bond election that provided $1.2 million for the construction of the new facility. The Museum is the only one of its kind in the Southwestern Region of the United States devoted to the preservation and display of African American artistic, cultural and historical materials. It also boasts having one of the largest African American Folk Art collections in the United States. The Museum operators say that they strive to present a meaningful experience to children and adults who do not normally visit art museums. The museum houses a rich heritage of American art and history in four vaulted galleries that are augmented by a research library. The Museum's permanent collections include African art; African American art; magazine, historical, political, and community archives. Visitors can also experience African American culture through many educational and entertaining programs that are frequently presented in an "educational plaza", which includes a theatre and classrooms.
