The article reviews the exhibitions at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. There is a ground floor gallery for contemporary art and a performance area. The first floor introduction to Arab civilization covers the arts, music, religion, medicine, architecture, mathematics, and astronomy. The second floor space is designed around storytelling. All the donated display objects are accompanied by individual and family histories of the donors. Some mannequins are placed in environments representing the places talked about in the narratives.
