About AAPI History Museum

Welcome to the first Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) History Museum. Through visuals, exhibits, videos, and interactive displays, we focus on AAPI history and bring it to life. Our museum is not static--our exhibits will change periodically to highlight specific communities, cultures, and historical moments. This is more than just a name -- it is a commitment to inclusive storytelling, ensuring that all communities represented within the AAPI umbrella are honored authentically, respectfully, and in their own voices.
