Dabls Mbad African Bead Museum

Returned this year, we really appreciate this place and learning about their offerings!! Loved looking at the amazing variety of beads and decorative pieces here!! Especially enjoyed my conversation with Dabls - hope I got that right - who told us the histories of his offerings, and sold us some very nice pieces at a very reasonable fare... Every square inch inside and out a great labor of love and preservation of History, I heartily recommend finding and discovering his beautiful wares and the stories behind them all, for yourself!! The various art installations merit a leisurely stroll to see it all! Next time we're in Michigan we WILL be back! <-- Kept this promise!💕

This is a wonderful place with tons of cool options and the owner is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Please check it out!

OMG, a Literal Gem, a great place filled with Energy and History and so much art. And the way art is, Open to Interpretation, makes everything you see here valuable in that aspect alone. All I can say is Enjoy. I posted a few pics but everything you see is better when in front of your own two eyes!

Went today with two of my best friends and had such an amazing experience! After looking around you can make your own bracelet which is what we did. Dabl told me his bead museum has been open for 23 years and the entire place is extraordinary with the best vibes. Will for sure be going back soon!

This is a very interesting place that we discovered completely by accident. Neat artwork.

Was a very nice experience. Huge selection and the art is mesmerizing. Can't say enough about the experience.

Beautiful resource for unique beads & jewelry components ; plus a truly unique art installation & cultural destination unlike any other. We will be back soon!!

Love to check out the outside space a few times each year. Seeing the changes being made over time is exciting to me. The store itself is a lot of fun to roam around in too, I've been able to meet the owner/artist which I always appreciate. The other staff was very friendly and welcoming as well, just a great stop for something not mainstream.
