๐ Tucked along Lake Street, the Somali Museum of Minnesota is a true Minneapolis treasure โ and the only museum in North America dedicated entirely to Somali culture.
Founded to preserve traditions nearly lost to war and displacement, this space now holds over 700 artifacts, including a full-sized traditional nomadic hut, handwoven textiles, and so much more. But this museum isnโt just about looking back โ itโs about building bridges forward.
From youth workshops to cultural performances and public tours, itโs a living, breathing celebration of heritage that invites everyone in.
Whether youโre reconnecting with your roots or learning something brand new, a visit here reminds us that the story of Minneapolis is richer because of the many stories within it. ๐
