The Japanese American National Museum (Museu Nacional Nipo-Americano) is the only museum in the United States that promotes understanding and appreciation of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity through preserving, interpreting, and sharing Japanese American experiences.

The museum’s most recent acquisition, the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy (Centro Nacional para a Preservação da Democracia), is an educational institution that develops partnerships with educators to encourage young people to participate actively in the formation of democracy in America.
