Our Tax Exempt 501-C-3 status dates back 33 years. We are a major repository for African Sculptures, Textile, Pottery, Beads, Bead Works, Metal items,etc. From our inception, the museum has perceived it's objective as being primarily two-fold. First, we seek to preserve the cultural heritage of African people. Secondly, we are dedicated in fostering a greater awareness about the culture of Africa. Few would deny that the museum has succeeded in this remarkable extension of its mission.
We envision that the museum would become a major center for the research of educators, students, scholars and the general public. They all have access to our facilities. MBAD prides itself in having worked very closely with the community it serves. We have sponsored several programs, workshops, and exhibitions on a variety of bead topics, published a coloring book, and a CD. In addition, MBAD has an outreach program which brings it's exhibitions to those, who are unable to come to us.
