About Japanese American National Museum

The mission of the Japanese American National Museum is to promote understanding and appreciation of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity by sharing the Japanese American experience. As the national repository of Japanese American history, the Japanese American National Museum (“JANM”) creates groundbreaking historical and arts exhibitions, educational public programs, award-winning documentaries, and innovative curriculum that illuminate the stories and the rich cultural heritage of people of Japanese ancestry in the United States. JANM also speaks out when diversity, individual dignity, and social justice are undermined, vigilantly sharing the hard-fought lessons accrued from this history. Its underlying purpose is to transform lives, create a more just America, and ultimately, a better world. JANM’s voice has never been more urgent or relevant than during this time of rising Anti-Asian hate and racism, and it has committed to galvanizing and advocating for the AAPI community.

JANM started as a dream, but without funding or a site. Within 20 years of its incorporation, JANM built a campus, traveled exhibitions internationally, became a Smithsonian Affiliate, received the National Medal for Museum and Library Services (America’s highest honor for museums), secured its community’s history, and changed how Americans think about Japanese Americans. JANM opened to the public 30 years ago and recently celebrated its 30th anniversary this year. This year, the museum recognized 30 young people that exemplify JANM’s mission and are makin extraordinary contributions in the arts, business, culture, education, politics, sports, technology, and more. As we look to the future, we celebrate the connection between the next generation and our past honorees, whose achievements have strengthened the community.

In 2005, the Japanese American National Museum created the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy, a separate, non-profit educational institution. This new space works to inspire youth to become active, informed participants in shaping democracy in America. Unlike traditional museum exhibitions, the Center is designed to engage participants more deeply in the content, and to provide a safe space for them to vocalize their opinions through a facilitated experience. Stories are also related in nontraditional media such as light-tables, pull-out cards, oral history clips, educational activities, and discussions.

National Center for the Preservation of Democracy at the Japanese American National Museum (NCPD@JANM) will further reinforce JANM’s mission and examine the rights, freedoms, and enduring fragility of American democracy through educational programming that includes exhibitions, media arts presentations, public programs, conferences, and civic dialogue/public forums.
