16 years ago Olayami Dabls came to the corner of Grand River and West Grand Blvd with a vision to create a space for his community to understand the immense power of their African heritage.
Occupying almost an entire city block in Detroit, the Dabls Mbad African Bead Museum houses 18 outdoor installations as well as the African Bead Gallery, N'kisi House and African Language Wall. Born of his own visual cosmology, Dabls MBAD African Bead Museum is a quiet revolution that sparks a vital conversation with global and local audiences.
African Bead Gallery and Store:
Hand-crafted beads from across Africa and the world are available for sale ONLINE and at the Bead Gallery and Store, open Monday through Saturday, 12pm - 7pm.
