The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center (APAC) strives to ensure the representation and inclusion of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) in the Smithsonian’s collections, research, exhibitions, and programs. Through education initiatives, publications, and public programs, APAC provides new avenues to document, celebrate, and share the rich and diverse history, art, and culture of AANHPIs.

Note: We are not a traditional museum with a public building.
SmithsonianAPA acknowledges with respect the Piscataway Nation on whose traditional territory the Smithsonian Institution stands and whose relationship with the land west of the Chesapeake Bay continues today.

SmithsonianAPA acknowledges with respect the people and places connected to the Smithsonian collections items procured by way of the United States Exploring Expedition.
