Would the museum be interested in a donation of a 'Hat' Geisha doll in a glass case? It was given to my father-in-law in appreciation of his work as the Port of Los Angeles Director in the 1960's

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.

I am not sure. We can donate for musium not for specific item.
