A cultural center
The African American Museum (Dallas) has remained a cultural center in Dallas and the Southwestern United States for 25 years. Initiated as part of Bishop College Special Collection, the Museum has operated independently since 1979. It is the only museum in the southwestern United States dedicated to the preservation and display of African American artistic, cultural and historical materials. It has one of the largest collections of African American popular art in the United States. The main goal of the museum is to present meaningful experiences for children and adults who visit the museum.
