The Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience

Mission 

We connect everyone to the dynamic history, cultures, and art of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders through vivid storytelling and inspiring experiences to advance racial and social equity.

Description

The Wing Luke Museum is an art and history museum located in Seattle's Chinatown-International District, serving a broad public audience that includes immigrants, refugees, as well as low-income students and families. Through our community-driven programming, the Museum works to empower the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community to tell our own stories, build community, and share our experiences with others.

Deep roots. Strong roots. New Roots. Through our community-inspired exhibits, events, and programs, the Wing Luke Museum thoughtfully plants seeds and nurtures thoughtful stories that inspire, enrich, and ensures that Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) culture and heritage continues to thrive. 

This year we look forward to the opening of our newest exhibit space, the Eng Home. We are excited to expand our campus footprint, planting new roots in the Chinatown International District. By showcasing one of the last family homes built in the neighborhood during the Chinese Exclusion Act era, the Eng Home serves as an inspiration and reminder that we can build our legacy even through adversity. 

We're proud to stand with our AANHPI community, to tell centuries' worth of stories where despite laws, leaders, and circumstances dictating otherwise, marginalized communities have found ways to be resilient, to resist, and to thrive. And, we're proud to support programming, arts, and civic engagement work that help make our communities feel that they, too, belong here.

This AANHPI Heritage Month, consider making a gift to ensure that the Wing Luke Museum's efforts of boldly amplifying AANHPI community stories and being a haven of belonging can continue for years to come.
