Wing Luke Museum

The Wing Luke Museum was recently named one of the Nation's Top 20 Cultural Treasures by the prestigious Ford Foundation. The museum is the only pan-Asian museum in the country and is well known for its unique community advisory committee approach to creating exhibits. The museum has called Seattle's Chinatown-International District its home for over 50 years and has become a key economic anchor in the community. 

As a National Park Service Affiliated Area and the first Smithsonian affiliate in the Pacific Northwest, the Wing Luke Museum offers an authentic and unique perspective on the American story. Nationally recognized for our work in creating dynamic, community-driven exhibitions and programs, we put our community at the heart of each exhibition we create. The stories you see and hear within our walls are their authentic experiences and perspectives. From the struggles of early Asian pioneers to accomplished works by national Asian Pacific American artists, their contributions give us a look at what it means to be uniquely American. Our 60,000 square foot facilities offers three floors to tell our communities’ stories, with contemporary galleries showcasing both temporary and permanent exhibitions as well as preserved historic spaces accessible only through our daily guided tours.
