About the Exhibit
“Race” is a short word with a long history. Yet, most of what we think about race is based on myth, folklore, or assumptions unsupported by genetics or biology. Join us for an eye-opening look at human nature and biology. Race: Are We So Different? explains the origins of race and racism, and helps us understand how to deal with them in productive, enlightening ways.
The Museum of Us is a place where dialogue, learning, and exchange forge understanding and personal connections. That’s why — after an initial temporary exhibition — we permanently installed this award-winning exhibit created by the American Anthropological Association and the Science Museum of Minnesota in 2015.
To make room for new experiences coming to the Museum, the Race: Are We So Different? exhibit has been condensed to focus on the history and experience of race in the United States.
