I'm sure it's 5 stars!
The Somali Museum is fairly small but is packed full of artifacts and history. Some of the artifacts are from the Somali Museum that was destroyed in the civil war and are quite rare. A good deal of the displays have to do with the Somali people when they were primarily nomadic living in rural areas. I found it very interesting to learn much about a very visible population in Minneapolis, but one that most people know very little about.nThe museum is located in the lower level of the building. They could use a more prominent sign. I would suggest arranging a guided tour to get the full experience.
Extremely informative and enjoyable. If you want to know something about Somali culture, here is great place to experience. Touring the Somali Museum of Minnesota was probably the most fun I've ever had in a museum. The guy that gave us a tour went into great details to explain each of the pieces.
We went on a whim and had such a wonderful time! We learned so much and our tour guide was super helpful! We also got great Somali food dinner recommendations.
A nice museum to stop at if you have a couple hours free. The guide was great and really enthusiastic about the history. It would be really helpful, however, to have more didactic text around for when you're just browsing after the tour.
