AAPI Mobile History Museum is now open to the public!
Cultural Society Unveiled the AAPI Mobile History Museum trailer on May 4, 2024 in commemoration of the 2024 AAPI Heritage Month
May 13, 2024 Utilizing the grant from the RI Expansion Art Program of 2024 and an anonymous donation to purchase the Museum trailer, we are set out to implement the exhibits for our mobile museum. See all the festivities and our celebration here. The theme for this year’s AAPI Heritage Month is Asian American Activists That Changed History. To learn about the life of each of the activists on the museum trailer, click here.
March 24, 2023 We are very proud to be a recipient of a major grant from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities to execute the Preliminary Research for Museum of Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders (AAPI) History & Culture.
We have a team of four persons of outstanding talents to start this preliminary research and will put together prototypes of exhibits to be displayed in September 2023. We will begin with the Chinese American journey to America and the journey of the Cambodian Americans first.
The Museum has its own website too.
If you are a person of South Asian, Vietnamese American or Filipino American, and you would like to donate an artifact, or lend us your special artifact relating to your culture or history, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Director. If the item is precious to you and you would only like a duplicate to be made, that is perfectly fine. We will be creating these history journeys next. We always welcome other stories of AAPI descent if you want to contribute your unique family story to our collection. Please write to [email protected].
We have completed the preliminary research, the Chinese American and Cambodian American Journey of the Mobile Museum as of September 7, 2024. The AAPI Mobile History Museum is open to the public now!
