WE HAVE MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION AND TEMPORARILY CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION
To better serve our visitors and enhance your experience, we have relocated. Our previous address at 1516 E Lake Street, Suite C Minneapolis, MN 55407, has served us well, but it's time for a new chapter. Our new home is located at 2925 Chicago Ave, Greenway Basement, Minneapolis, MN 55407. This move allows us to expand our exhibits and provide you with an even more enriching experience. With change comes a period of transition. To prepare our new space and ensure it meets our standards of excellence, the museum will be temporarily closed for construction. During this time, we will be working diligently to create an environment that is both inviting and inspiring. We appreciate your patience and support during this period of growth. The Somali Museum is still offering its programs for the public. Please reach out to Naem Isak, Program Coordinator at [email protected] for all inquiries. To stay updated on our progress and for sneak peeks of what's to come, we encourage you to stay connected with us through our newsletter, website, and social media channels. Your continued support and enthusiasm for our museum mean the world to us. We are excited about the future and look forward to welcoming you to our new location with open arms. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. Here's to a bright future filled with more discoveries, learning, and fun at our new location.
