Somali Museum of Minnesota

The Somali Museum offers a collection of over 700 artifacts, exceptional traditional artworks, and serves as a much needed meeting space for Somali artists and community members. After civil war destroyed most of Somalia’s museums, precious artifacts spread across the world. The Somali Museum of Minnesota is now home to the largest Somali cultural collection and a hub of traditional knowledge.

Your contribution will…

• create educational opportunities for Somali youth to learn about the rich culture and history of Somalia;

• strengthen ties between youth and elders sharing traditional cultural practices including nomadic folklore, weaving, and dance;

• conserve artifacts and artworks for future generations;

• build bridges towards greater cultural understanding and harmony between the Somali community and our neighbors.

Help sustain the Somali Museum of Minnesota’s efforts to protect the treasures and memories of a community whose ancestral knowledge and traditions are at risk by donating today. Then head to www.somalimuseum.org to plan your visit to the museum on East Lake Street where all are welcome! 

Mahadsanid! Thank you!
