18 outdoor installations are on view at Dabls’ MBAD African Bead Museum, located in the Core City neighborhood of Detroit. The museum was founded 23 years ago by Olayami Dabls with a vision to create a space for his community to understand the immense power of their African heritage using outside installations and beads.
Occupying almost two city blocks at the corner of Grand River and West Grand Blvd in Detroit, Dabls’ MBAD African Bead Museum is a quiet revolution that sparks a vital conversation with global and local audiences.
