After decades of steady growth and recognizing greater educational needs, the new Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum is a major advancement from its predecessors, featuring a new name, expanded mission, and a larger facility that will accommodate more visitors and students than ever before. In October 2017, the Museum broke ground on a new facility where visitors would experience a deeper immersion into human and civil rights, their centrality to our democracy, and their vital importance in preventing events like those of the Holocaust from happening again. The 55,000-square-foot permanent home covers three floors, and the main exhibition includes four wings: Orientation Wing, Holocaust/Shoah Wing, Human Rights Wing, and Pivot to America Wing.
OMNIPLAN Architects of Dallas designed the new LEED-certified building; the permanent exhibition is the creation of Berenbaum Jacobs Associates, under the stewardship of Dr. Michael Berenbaum, the former Project Director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum; the General Contractor is Austin Commercial.
