Art & Exhibitions
The museum’s Art Wing has been reimagined as a flexible, multi-use space designed to support community programs, lectures, temporary exhibits, and special events. While select works of art remain on display, the space now serves a broader educational and cultural purpose—welcoming guest speakers, hosting hands-on workshops, and providing room for rotating exhibits that reflect timely themes and community interests. This transformation allows the Art Wing to remain a dynamic and engaging part of the museum, better aligned with current programming needs and visitor experiences.
Asian Life in the Americas
A newly dedicated section of the museum’s Art Wing now highlights the rich and often underrepresented Asian experience in the Americas. This evolving space features rotating exhibits that explore the diverse contributions, cultural traditions, and complex histories of Asian communities across North, Central, and South America. Through art, personal stories, historical artifacts, and multimedia displays, visitors are invited to engage with themes of migration, resilience, identity, and cultural exchange. This initiative reflects the museum’s commitment to inclusive storytelling and provides a meaningful platform for honoring the voices and legacies of Asian Americans and their impact on the broader American experience. This area features a reproduction Han Dynasty "Jade Burial Suit" and a five-level, intricately-carved Jade Dragon Ship measuring 5 feet long and 52 inches tall. The elaborate openwork of the vessel is detailed with phoenixes, birds and dragons.
