The Arab American National Museum (AANM) is the first and only museum in the United States devoted to Arab American history and culture. Through its interactive hands-on exhibits, the AANM documents and presents the Arab American story. By bringing the voices and faces of Arab Americans to its audiences, the AANM affirms its commitment to dispel the many misconceptions about Arab Americans and other minorities.
The first floor is dedicated to the contribution of Arabs in science, mathematics, architecture, music, etc. throughout history. The second floor has three section, one involving the journey of Arabs to the U.S., another involving the life of Arab Americans in the U.S., and the last involving famous Arab Americans. I found it very educational, especially the last section noting famous contributions by Arab Americans to American history and culture ranging from JFK's famous speeches to chess. I believe that, even if you are not deeply invested in Arabic culture or Arab American history, you will find this worthwhile for an admission fee of $8. Many of the stories of Arab Americans also resonate with all immigrants to the U.S.

It is very beautiful mosque. Architecture is really amazing inside and outside. When we visited, there was the prophet Mouhamad’s birth celebration, and we went inside with no invitation, and we were welcomed by group of lovely friendly teens. Would love to visit again for sure.

If you are an automobiles and auto racing, you probably have visited the museum at the Indianapolis Speedway. If you haven't visited the Automative Hall of Fame in Dearborn, Michigan, you should.

To date, over 800 worldwide figures have been honored for advertising, car rental, dealerships, design, racing, finance, engineering, driving, inventing and managing. It includes the founders of more than 22 car companies. Most recognizable among the inductees are Giovanni Agnelli, Mario Andretti, Enzo Ferrari, Harvey Firestone, Phil Hill, A.J. Foyt, Henry Kaiser, Carroll Shelby, Henry Ford, Don Garlits, Lee Iacocca, Ralph Nader, Barney Oldfield, Dale Earnhardt, Thomas Edison, Walter Chrysler, Jackie Stewart, Armand Peugeot, Soichiro Honda, Richard Petty and Roger Penske. It has been reported that the museum may be moved to a facility in downtown Detroit. Until then, it makes for an educational trip through automotive history and a thoroughly enjoyable side trip from the nearby Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village.
