Really unique experience! I truly recommend this to everyone! You may learn something you didnt know about the unbelievable atrocities that the Jewish people faced. Very good museum!
Very interesting content! You should definitely go and visit!Free for bank of America customers every 1st weekend of the month.Following strictly covid19 rules
So, this was our first time coming to the new location. One word describes the experience: AMAZING. If you are looking for something that is just an in and out experience then I would not recommend you go here. They have upgraded the experience of this part of the world history. In all of the videos they have playing there are survivor recounts. There was one man video that had me in tears, so if you are a softy I say you Bring tissues. At the beginning you walk up stairs and watch explanatory videos. However, if you have issues walking, stroller, wheelchair ect. there is the elevator option with the same or similar experience before getting the the top presentations. I look forward to go back with some of the adults and children from my church. After saying that it reminds me that my youngest son (4 years old) was not interested in the museum after a while. Although, he did liked the videos and the maps on the wall. I can not say enough how great the staff was also.
If you want to really know this is the place to go. Be prepared though. It can be emotional for some especially learning that what we learned in school was not even close to the whole truth. We didnt even get to see the whole museum so we will be back. It is a LOT to take in for a single visit.
We left with tears in our eyes 10/10, the genocide section consisted of facts that I didnt learn until my senior year of sociology in human rights. These are topics that dont get enough coverage. Definitely an eye opening experience.
A time in history that we should never forget. Very neat and interesting place. It was my second museum that I visited (The first was Unites States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC) Beautifully displayed and testimonials from survivors are heart breaking. You will learn a lot here. Very nice and polite employees as well. Looking forward to the new museum to open .
Truly a well designed and informative museum. It’s as equally beautiful as it is heartbreaking. So much to read and learn. The path through the exhibits flows really well. Great videos that I encourage all to have a seat and watch. This museum is a must stop on any visit to Dallas.
Really enjoyed my time here. I love a good museum and you can tell how meticulously they built everything. It’s very eye opening & I recommend everyone goes for a solid education on human rights & the Holocaust. There is a student discounted ticket, so be sure to bring your student ID if applicable.
An amazing and moving experience! We spent about 2.5 hours here and could have easily spent more time! The building itself is beautiful and everything is new and clean. The museum was very informative and educational. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable!
Excellent experience. Everyone should go here every 5 years at least, to revisit our history.
Went on a class trip with my child. It was great and all the staff of the museum were so informative and handled the energized children really well. The museum is beautiful structural as well as it message. Stop by I dont wanna divulge too much info.
One of the best museums Ive ever been to. Could only handle the grim subject matter for two hours. My daughter was deeply sad after seeing that much. Important place to visit especially for young people. Easy to walk to from West End Station.
The customer service Is really nice. However, I do hate the fact that you cannot read everything in one day because it charges you for parking quite a bit and it would take multiple trips to be able to read everything which stinks because you would like to do that. But the way that it works youre not able to I wish in their gift shop. Everything had the pricing on it. Something said something said not so it can be a bit confusing. I bought a bag that was 2499 and then a water bottle that was 10 both of which were priced labeled. The exhibits are extremely nice. Well laid out. Just plan on making multiple trips to be able to learn everything. It would be nice at the Human Rights Museum would get involved more in the community itself because here you have an example of human rights Indian it you have a lot of people in Dallas that are homeless or suffering. So be nice to see a little bit more of them getting actively involved. But aside from that. It was a nice place to go. And learn
Excellent museum with detailed history of multiple (sadly) holocaust events. Very educational and informative. Doesnt pull punches. recommended for patrons 12 and older.
Lots of good information and displays. The hologram exhibit was interesting.
A sobering museum that presents a tragic era of human history. The exhibits are very well organized and there are personal devices for self-guided audio tours available so you can see the exhibits at your own pace. It is vital viewing especially in light of the many injustices that continue today, both globally as well as in the country. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Disclaimer: when I went they were in the process of moving, so not everything was available. It was indeed very interesting, and I learned a decent amount I didnt know already, but I didnt get the emotional plunge that Ive heard about from others. Native Texans may experience more from this though as there are a good deal of narratives from local survivors. Ultimately what pulled me to the fifth star was the interactive response activities at the end of the Anne Frank exhibit, where you can share your emotional experience through creative means such as mapping with colored yarn. The museum felt distant in its formality until this point; this is where you get a chance to really reflect, which amplifies the experience.Note: it is a self guided audio tour, where you get this sort of phone thing you put the exhibit number into and listen to the description. If youre an auditory learner, its great; if youre hard of hearing, you may want to contact them beforehand to see if they have a printed alternative.
Small nice museum with informative views and facts concerning the jewish holocaust. Has various photos and memorabilia to view. Price is 10 for adults, 8 for kids and offers military and student discounts. No free parking available. Nice to learn from.
Im glad I went. Self guided tour. Entrance isnt too expensive. You can sit and listen in detail of what interests you. Its heartbreaking and factual. Gives a good overview of the holocast. Takes about an hour to walk through
A very informative, beautifully laid out museum with lots to read and watch. This new museum is much better than the old one in the way that the exhibits are organized, survivor accounts, all kinds of information on the Holocaust. They also focus on other horrors that happened besides the Holocaust in other countries. I found that truly informative. Plan to spend at least half a day here.
Very informative and interesting. Focuses on one day in the Holocaust. They give you little speaker things while you walk around to listen to info about each photo. Spent roughly about an hour in the museum.
It was beautiful and horrific. It was incredibly touching to hear the stories of what happened to those innocent people. The entire museum was excellent and you could truly appreciate, as if you could ever truly appreciate, the horror of what happened. Its explanation of genocide was also very concerning as you can see it reflected all across the world. Over all, it is a must see for everyone because it sheds light on the world and shows us that we must improve.
I first came here in middle school for a class field trip and the experience was absolutely incredible and eye opening. I visited the museum again several years later and I have to say it was even better than the first time! The staff is very friendly and the facility is beautiful. Theyll be moving the displays into a new building in summer 2019 so I cant speak for that but from the experiences Ive had its every bit worth your money and time.They hand you a little speaker which you use like a phone to listen to commentary about each display. Its self paced so you can spend as little or as much time you want in each section. Each display is detailed and has meaningful information which really changes your prespective. They have a theater room which plays clips of survivors telling their story. Once you leave that they have a section for Anne Frank in which youll find the survivor lounge, a VR room which you have to book ahead of time. Further in the room, there is a place for you to write your experiences and how you fight discrimination.Some of the imagery and stories are graphic and heavy but I definitely think its a meaningful experience for children. Bring tissues the whole thing makes you sad but you walk away from it with a new prespective on people and life.
Can spend many hours in here. A lot to read and watch. Not a lot of artifacts, but definitely can learn the history here. The interactive exhibit with a holocaust survivor is pretty neat technology. Of course, a lot of good lessons and raising awareness. Great school trip!
Excellent displays. Their goal is to enlighten you and challenge you to action in opposing genocides. Great message with wonderfully told sad stories of the history of devaluing human life. Will you be an Upstander to save human lives from torture and extermination? The museum fails miserably at one important topic of saving human lives, the abortion genocide. Over 3,000 babies are exterminated each day in the USA alone. Why not be an Upstander for these innocent babies?
Great learning experience. Only which it was a little more spacious and had more stuff to look at. But hopefully their new location will provide that.
Highly recommend for teenagers and adults. My teenagers were nervous about going and how they would cope with the topic, but they loved it in the end. Found it to be humbling and inspiring. The museum does a fantastic job.
An amazing collection that makes learning about the Holocaust am extremely impactful experience.
It is not a large museum, but it has a lot of information packed into the space used. A new, larger museum is opening across the street in September, so I look forward to this. I took my daughter, who was just shy of 13 and she was engaged in the subject matter. She really connected with the Anne Frank exhibit and VR experience and now wants to learn all about the Holocaust and particularly Anne Frank.
We went here on a school field trip and I was left with no words. The things human had to go through. I learned alot coming here. I reccomend coming here if you want to learn about history.
What a spectacular honor to the Jewish people. God’s chosen people! He will bring them health & healing & reveal to them an abundance of peace & truth. Jeremiah 33:6 Created in such a way to bring honor dignity & love to such a dark time in history. The building itself beautiful & calming. So much to grasp & read. Love to visit again sometime soon. Deborah Ulibarri
Great way to learn and remember the holocaust and human rights history.
See Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum s 66 reviews averaging 4.9 stars.A variety of Information in many different areas. Three major sections, Holocaust, Universal Civil Rights, and the Dallas & US Civil rights experience.I happened upon a senior Holocaust survivor who was there as a visitor, with her daughter, viewing a photo wall including pictures of herself and her family, as well as in one of the video displays.One might spend as little as one and as many as four hours there, with much more material available if youd like. I could focus on areas of particular interest to me.
An important and excellent display of history with amazing interactive audio-visual pieces and a focus on what we can all do to prevent such things from happening again. Highly recommended for all. Not for children unless the parents are willing to prepare them for the content inside.
We found the museum informative and interesting. Most of the tour is self guided, so there can be delays in getting to sections if others are slower. Id recommend allowing for extra time as everything was worth checking out.Museum is a short walk from Union Station stop, its pleasant if you have good weather.
Very interesting museum. I highly recommend! The area is nice, a visit can take anything between 1:30 and 4:00 hr
Excellent display of history! Although very sad, it was extremely educational and the layout is amazing. We had the opportunity to experience the virtual reality of Anne Franks house and that was so cool. I would recommend going to this museum to everyone. Be ready to be hit with the hard truth of just how horrible the holocaust REALLY was though.
A poignant and exceptionally well designed permanent exhibit housed in one of the best designed facilities I’ve ever experienced. The juxtaposition of the way the material is presented between the somber main exhibition area as it flows into the almost garish and bright stages of genocide area works so well to captivate the viewer, and then the unexpected arrival into the small and silent memorial space at the end is breathtaking. In a lot of ways, I think this museum is better designed than the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC and does a far better job at contextualizing the importance of rememberance. This is truly a world-class facility.
This was so interesting. I had a great time, would reccomend
Wow! Highly recommend. Although I left sad it was well worth it and educational.
An amazing experience. Everyone should go. So educational. You will never view human rights the same after going through all the exhibits. This experience should be required for every young person and voting American. My favorite was the opening movie. It puts everything into context from the start and caused me to think about what kind of a person I really am and aspire to be. The world is a better place because of the space that has been created here. Our deepest appreciation and gratitude for making all this happen.
Planned to go here, got a coupon from Groupon and spent about 7 dollars for two. It was very modest for the price, the only downfall I could find was the audio tour became slow at the very beginning. There were many people there and it was crowded but theyre expanding so hopefully theyll have more room and revenue to have actual guides.
I loved the museum and so did my children. We all learned a lot. The cost is fair and I would definitely say this place is worth going to.
Great for history and remembrance. We took our 5 year old daughter and she enjoyed it. She listened to the stories and could recognize and understand what was happening. This location is closing soon and later in 2019 the new location is opening.
Very humbling experience. This was a terrible stain in history. But, at this museum, you are able to see some of the events that took place during the Holocaust.
A truly fabulous museum! I had been visiting Dallas when I passed by this museum on the way to my hotel and knew I had to check it out. It did not disappoint. The staff there were extremely helpful kind and knowledgeable. I’ve been to many museums and I felt like it covered almost every angle and points of view of the horrible events of the Holocaust. Definitely worth seeing when visiting Dallas and will recommend to all of my friends and coworkers.
The museum is alright but theyre opening way grander one next to it, so might worth a visit! The smallest museum that Ive ever been to with the least number of artifact. But I learn about the new story that Ive never heard of. For that reason, I gave it four star because it satisfies the value of coming to the museum and that is to learn something!
Beautiful museum with so much to see. Forrest and Elizabeth were very nice. The exhibits are tremendous. The holograms with Max and Anita are not to be missed. Deanna the manager was very helpful.
This is the new Holocaust Museum. Lots of information to be found. It mainly focuses on the holocaust and what the people were put through, Hitlers rising and his lackeys, and the liberators. There is a hologram type experience where you can ask questions of a survivor they prerecorded, that was really neat. Then the museum exhibits stages of genocide with different world examples. Exiting that exhibit one sees examples of upstanders, or those who stand up for change. And lastly a video about biases. Unfortunately, this last part, and a gift shop full of Coexist and gay pride stuff kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Yes, we do all have biases, and I dont have a problem for people to be respected and treated fairly; however, I believe a person should pull their own weight and do what they say they can do. Dont say you can do my job and expect me to do all the heavy lifting. I celebrate people getting what they desire and deserve, but be the person who works hard and has the grit to deserves those things.
Really neat setup. Audio guided tour meaning you get what you want to get out of it. Seemed a little small but was hearing talks of an expansion.
Everytime I Travel I like going to museums specially If they are about the holocaust.The main focus of this museum is the human Rights, how WW2 was a violation of every single human right.It not just contains testimonies, information, videos and more but it also displays some other violations of humans rights that happened not just in Europe but around the world.For example the killing of mayans and the slavery of the same ethnical group caused by the conquest of Spain.Youll find many many things like this in this museum, ways to prevent it and explanations of the human rights.
This museum is so well done! Give yourself at least 2 1/2-3 hours to visit. You’ll need that to take it all in. There’s so much to see and read, and the videos throughout are so good. Although a lot of the focus is on Nazi/Germany holocaust, the museum does a great job of tying in other genocides and human rights issues we still face today. Visit this extremely important place. It’s truly a beautiful, educational, but heartbreaking gem.
Took a group of 45 sixth graders here on a field trip. All of the museum staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The kids enjoyed themselves and learned a lot.
Amazing experience. This is the 5th such museum in this genre I have toured. The Dallas Holocaust museum is great. This city deserves a museum of this quality. Now it is the obligation to citizens and visitors to view and learn. The people who designed and built this magnificent building of honesty explores past, current, & future abuses of our fellow humans. It of course focuses on Jews and ends with a look around the world of abuses of other groups. This is a must see, read, and listen place. When are you going?
A very enlightening experience into the survivors of the Holocaust in there own words. Make sure to reserve your seat for the Dimensions in Testimony, its very cool. You will spend hours reading, watching and listening so eat before you go because there is no food besides a small selection of over priced snack food.
Amazing place. Very emotional and educational. Just beautiful.
Excellent exhibit. Very emotional
The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights museum is truly a life changing experience. So many stories and emotions following throughout the exhibits that its hard to realize that such terrible things could be done to millions of people.
This is one of the best museums I have ever been in. The story-telling is flawless. The impact is unforgettable.
This place is amazing. I’m still clicking through the images and information that were available to soak in. I can’t wait to go back. So important, and I feel the museum did an excellent job balancing the ugly and evil with the strength and resilience of the human spirit. The new Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum is a must see.
It was a very eye opening experience for me and I would recommend this to anyone visiting the JFK museum. Its not a happy place but its important that we get a first hand view of this historical event.
Fantastic story depictions, photos and artifacts... Moving
Great educational experience
This is a state of the art museum that shows many things about the Holocaust and human rights. There is a high quality theater too. Probably among the best Holocaust museums in America
It was very informative. The parking was hard to find.
Extraordinarily well-done! An absolutely MUST SEE, educational experience.
I wasnt even half way into reading everything and enjoying this great museum, when I was told it was closing and had to leave. I paid to get in and didnt even get to see the entire place. I was very upset and disappointed. They didnt even let us finish up or warn us when we paid that we would be escorted out at a certain time. I left feeling cheated. We paid 15 for parking so it was a lot of money down the drain. :(
Students loved it. They were very interested and were working diligently on their assignment and enjoying all the new information they were reading and seeing.
First time I had an electronic guided indoor tour. I really enjoyed every exhibition but above all, the one on Abraham as the one who had first iniciated the concept of Jews exodus.
Very well thought out displays. Focus on 6 million killed in death camps... another 6 million were killed villages and slave camps. Its clear that there were and still are many people who didnt want to help the Jews. Ironic twist, display about Japanese camps too...
Just opened in a new location. Very worthwhile visit. Couldnt see enough of the exhibits in my available time.
Very interesting...very educational...and I loved the layout of the building and exhibits. Highly recommend for anyone interested in learning more about this sorry time in world history.
Outstanding presentation of information regarding the Holocaust and WWII. Be sure to visit the front desk upin entering the museum to sign up for the free interactive theater called Dimensions in Testamony. You will certainly be emotionally moved and impressed as you and about 25 other visitors ask questions of an actual Holocaust survivor via virtual reality. Absolutely wonderful concept and execution.
Its just 3 weeks old when I visited and I have to say its absolutely amazing, extremely thoughtful exhibits that are beautifully designed and emotionally poignant! Make sure you head down to the Dimensions in Testimony and spend some time in the theatre, absolutely worth it
Small place but very neat. The guy in charge was very nice. Excellent friendly people. They even let us know, they will have more room soon. The museum will be much bigger. Very interesting. I went there with two of my great coworkers and a few of our students. We had an amazing time! Highly recommend.
Very informative & does good job of including Dallas in the narrative of local survivors
Parking was very easy and accessible to the Holocaust Museum. I also walked over to the 6th floor Museum and when I came back my car was cool because of the covered garage. Not bad for Texas summers. $4 per hour seems pretty cheap for Dallas.
Very well done introduction and summary of the Dallas holocaust survivors. I cried Must see the ten stages of Genocide.
It was a surreal experience
Excellant museum
Amazing piece of history that everyone should see and experience. Looking forward to the new museum opening in 2019!!
Nice place. Was a quick tour because they are moving the museum to a new location so I didnt get to go up stairs or anything.
Very informative. Sad but true. Take the whole family.
We had a chance to visit the new museum and the storytelling is incredible. It is modern in its approach to humans rights. The categories of up-stander, bystanders, perpetrators and victims highlights the responsibilities we all share.
Very interesting. Very well concieved. The hologram is a must for everybody
Every time I go here its like I learn something new and come out more knowledgeable !
I was blown away with how impressive this new museum is. They take the concept of Holocaust museums to the next level. The exhibits are semi-organized by timeline but also by location, whether countries or specific places where events took place. Thinking outside the box, the museum focuses beyond the Holocaust to look at other human rights tragedies throughout history, both near (massacre of Native Americans in Texas) and far. This is the only Holocaust museum Ive been to that works to be so inclusive. Another impressive addition is the focus on upstanders, a term for people who helped others and made a positive difference, as opposed to perpetrators or bystanders. The museum also makes mention of Dallas and Texas connections to the Holocaust, Civil Rights movements, and more. In this current age of divisiveness, xenophobia, and racism, the Dallas Holocaust/Human Rights Museum reminds us why we need to never forget.
Very good museum. Clean and friendly staff members. There is a parking garage very close to the building but its is paid parking.
Great experience. The real life stories were the best.
A well put together exhibit. Though it is a very sad and somber subject, theres a lot of information and history of the Holocaust here.
So much to learn. Great place. Its a must do.
Not what I expected but was informative.
Amazing history.
Self guided tour. Great information and history. Nice staff.
Wow excellent
A must see on Dallas. If you live nearby, become a member and attend the outstanding events.
Small yet powerful. It was worth it.
I have been to multiple Holocaust museums and sites, this is one of the best! They did a great job connecting the exhibit to other parts of history.
