Wonderful, small exhibit on the history of Japanese people in the West Coast. Not too far from the Greyhound Portland Station. I was very happy that I stopped here in the hour I had before needed to leave for the airport. It was perfect for my situation.
I enjoyed my visit to this Japanese Museum. The museum basically is telling the history of the horrible treatment of Japanese citizens during WWII and the terrible Japanese internment camps. It was an eye-opener and highly suggest for people to visit so we can prevent the same thing from ever happening again. It's a very small museum but it speaks volume in regards to the pictures and mementos of the experiences of those Japanese citizens who have been wronged in the past.
I paid an inexpensive admission fee and was very happy to learn about the Japanese Internment History which isn't covered much in history textbooks. There aren't many places like this around the area. Good value, not too big, and educational.
I have donated precious items from my parents estate for future exhibits that represent their way of life before WWII, their sacrifices, patriotism & eventual success in the face of adversity.
Small, eye opening museum. I saw the Yellow Terror Exhibit. 5 stars.
The Oregon Nikkei (Japanese Community) Legacy Center/ History Museum is a must visit for everyone. The authentic displays and video interviews are important reminders of what happened to all Japanese American citizens on the west coast during WWII.
True tribute to those that sacrificed.
