America’s Islamic Heritage Museum has a new App. The app provides a journey into the life of Muslims in America across five pivotal areas: Early Legends, The 1700s, The 1800s, The 1900s, and Current History in the Making. “Each era provides a curated summary, followed by meticulously chosen external resources, allowing you to delve deeper and gain comprehensive insights, says museum co-founder Amir Muhammad. The app includes stories of Continental Africans, African Americans, and those identifying as White, South Asian, and Arab.

The museum’s new physical space will be on the same property as the old building but “strictly exhibit space,” continued Muhammad, with a small gift shop, orientation theater, and small office space. Since the museum space will be about 1200 square feet smaller than the old space, Muhammad plans to have an offsite location with office space, a library, a community room, rental office space, storage space, social services, and archives.

The new museum will be in the recently opened The Clara. “We are happy that we were able to overcome the gentrification forces and return to this space, especially after seeing that so many businesses are not able to make it back once the change takes place,” says Muhammad.
