WE ARE OPEN
Since the outbreak of Covid-19 has set us back some, we have reopened our doors with new safety precautions for both the health of our guests and our staff members.
We have new renovations and a new exhibit; The Dirios Exhibit.
Our new open hours are Friday 3 PM TO 7 PM. Saturday, and Sunday from 1 PM to 5 PM.
Founded in 2011, the Somali Museum of Minnesota opened the doors of its public gallery in 2013 as North America's first and only museum devoted to Somali culture. At last update, the Somali Museum of Minnesota was the only museum of Somali culture anywhere in the world.
The Somali Museum is the home of Somali creativity in North America, and is a global leader in advancing and elevating the work of Somali artists, traditional and contemporary.
