This prototype depicts a possible floor plan of a scale-model of the future AAPI History Museum (brick-and-mortar version) . We will complete a mobile version of this Museum first, using the panels shown on the floor plan. The panels will be lightweight and durable and can be stored in a trailer that can be moved from place to place to set up a mobile Museum indoors (in a multi-purpose room, gymnasium, or hallway of a school or university) or outdoors (in a parking lot, playground, or any outdoor space).
If your organization is interested in hosting this prototype, please contact our director at [email protected]
* We just ask that your Organization has to be a well-traffic public space where people can walk in during your operating hours to view this prototype.
The Prototype is funded by a grant from the following organizations.
December Event
AAPI Symposium for Educators
Cultural Society is pleased to present this symposium, which offers a unique opportunity for professional development tailored specifically to ELA and social studies teachers. This event aims to provide educators with the necessary resources and tools to effectively teach Asian American history to their students in compliance with Rhode Island legislation. As of September 2023, it will be mandatory for all primary and secondary public schools to incorporate AAPI history into their curriculum. By attending this symposium, teachers will gain valuable insights and equip themselves with the knowledge needed to meet this requirement and inspire their students with a comprehensive understanding of Asian American history.
**Certificates for PLU’s will be available.
