Wing Luke Asian Museum
Location: Seattle, Washington
Region: West
Website: http://www.wingluke.org
Description: The museum's name honors Wing Luke, born near Canton, China, in 1925. His family moved to the US when he was six and became an activist, working for civil rights, urban renewal and historic preservation. His life was tragically cut short in a plane crash in 1965. Believing that the culture and traditions of Chinese and other Asian immigrants should be preserved and taught, Wing envisioned a place to present the history and important issues of Asian Americans. The Wing Luke Asian Museum was founded to fulfill that vision.
The Wing Luke Asian Museum engages the Asian Pacific American communities and the public in exploring issues related to the culture, art and history of Asian Pacific Americans.
Profile: The Wing Luke Asian Museum is interested in working with the National Museum of American History and the National Museum of Natural History on exhibitions relating to the art, culture and history of Asian-Pacific Americans.
