This is a wonderful place that is kinda hidden but worth looking for. The monument is engraved with 16,000 Japanese soldiers and their officers who served during WWII. Inscribed stars indicate those who were killed in action. Above the names carved into the granite are 60 US Army patches from the units under which the Nisei soldiers served.

JAMM has two primary exhibits: one on the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and one on the Japanese experience in the US internment camps following Pearl Harbor. Both exhibits have extensive photographs and narratives. The museum is spacious and should not be missed if you are interested in these topics. It is located in Little Tokyo in LA.

So much to see here… I spent two hours but I could have easily spent an hour more (had to rush because of my parking meter darn!). Plan for 3 hours. Very interesting exhibits, you’ll want to read everything. I knew about the internment camps for the Japanese during WWII, but this just digs into it on another level, it’s very personal. Highly recommend.

A truly moving and educational space that reaffirms the necessity to love one another and recognize each other's humanity. Located in a new, modern glass and metal building across from their old brick, iron shaped one, this museum is a must see experience for everyone. Focusing on the Japanese experience from the first laborers who were immigrants to the Japanese American experience through forced internment and beyond, the history lesson was eye opening. We really enjoyed the Trancendients, recognizing many of the people who have worked at the borders of their passions and activism. Also very touching to see the Covid-19 installation and read the stories of just a minute sample of those we lost to the pandemic. We were able to visit for donation only as they are just reopening now. It was a great way to spend Mother's Day.

I did not know that. Awesome thanks
It depends if you're looking for admission into the museum or tickets for programs. You can get admission at the museum when you get there and the friendly front desk staff will help make your purchasing experience easy. Current members get admission for free, but you still need to drop by the front desk to get your admission sticker. If you're looking to get tickets for programs, it is recommended you RSVP through the website calendar of events or by calling the museum. Entry to most programs come with the purchase of museum admission, while others require pre-payment--again, by registering online or by calling in.
There is no one by that name employed by the Japanese American National Museum, and we do not purchase old coins or other artifacts for our collection. We have received multiple inquiries regarding this individual. We would appreciate if you (or anyone else who have been contacted by him) could forward us any information about him so that we can try to put a stop to his fraudulent activities.
Our general admission rates are: Adults $12 Seniors (62 and over) $6 Students (with ID) and Youth (6–17) $6 Children 5 and under and JANM Members, Free. *Free general admission every Thursday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and all day every third Thursday of the month.

Hi! Yes, we do provide free admission for the entire family with an EBT card. However, the registered cardholder must be present and show the benefits card and I.D.
As of 3/25/2022, they required a vaccine card+matching ID and that all guests wear a mask.
It was a couple weeks ago but with LA changing pandemic rules dialy better call and check
Hi! Thanks for your inquiry. If you are interested in donating your mother's tansu to JANM, please see this page on our website. There's a form that you can download and submit: https://www.janm.org/collections/artifact-donation Sincerely, Vicky Murakami-Tsuda Japanese American National Museum
I agree,the best thing will be check the website or call to ask if they have any "especials" for the day you will like to visit.
Hi Evy, I am not sure how school trips work. It is best to call and speak to a docent as they may be able to provide exact information for your school.
The Japanese American National Museum's permanent collection focuses on artifacts that encompass the Japanese American experience, from immigration and settlement, to the contemporary Japanese American experience. The level of interest would depend on the extent and significance of the back story that you can provide in relation to the item. Visit this page for more information: http://www.janm.org/collections/artifact-donation/
There is no one by that name on staff or that volunteers at the Japanese American National Museum.
While Hinduism is a religion, it's not a topic that we usually explore at the Japanese American National Museum since it's not a religion generally practiced by Japanese Americans.
Free Thursdays from 5pm-8pm. Free all day on every third thursday. I think its free all day this coming Saturday on 9/22. Members: free Adult: $12 Seniors (62+): $6 Students w/ID or youth 6-17: $6 Children under 5: free.
I think you can pick it up. Uber is also useful
ancestry.com has WRA camp records from WWII. You will need to create an account to look it up though.
Donations can be made online in the memory or in honor of an individual here: http://janmstore.com/donation. Thank you for your support!
For adults it's $12 each, with the extra exhibit is $15 each. They had discounted tickets for kids, seniors and students but I don't remember how much for those.
It has two levels, many exhibits related to Japanese migration to the United States and mentions exile in "concentration" camps in California during World War II. The works of art usually change with the season

There is a $7 all day parking lot right around the block. After you park you walk through the parking lot which leads directly to the museum.
There is one ongoing exhibition called Common Ground which is about Japanese American history from early immigration through the WWII incarceration to reparations and redress in the 80's. Other than that which is up all the time, rotating exhibitions change about 4-6 times a year. Check janm.org for current information about the exhibition lineup.
