Wing Luke Museum - Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders history & art museum. It is a Smithsonian Institution affiliate and the only pan-Asian Pacific American community-based museum in the United States! Also the only museum I’ve ever been a member of. I was honored to be a part of one of their exhibits about how the community came together during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic.
