Japanese American National Museum

Included general museum admission with the Go Los Angeles Card

Located in the heart of Downtown LA’s Little Tokyo Historic District, the Japanese American National Museum is internationally recognized for its commitment to explore the meaning of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity by preserving, interpreting, and sharing the experiences of Japanese Americans. Its core exhibition, “Common Ground: The Heart of Community,” chronicles 130 years of Japanese American history from the early days of the Issei (first-generation) pioneers through the World War II incarceration to the present. The museum also offers ongoing art and cultural exhibitions, dynamic public programs, an award-winning
museum store, and the Hirasaki National Resource Center, a self-directed educational experience connecting visitors with the museum’s wealth of resources documenting Japanese American culture.
