Japanese American Museum of San Jose

Rare museum, must visit if you are interested in Japanese American history

I'm the tour guide. Everyone in my tours learn something new.

Thanks to news stories, documentaries and movies I know a lot about the subject matter of this museum. But its nice to visit a place that is dedicated to to the preservation of historical events. Didn't know this museum was there until I was walking by it, a nice find.

I had to walk away during the tour. My heart hurt, I knew about the encampments. But didnt know a lot of the history. I cant believe California allowed this.

At first I was the only visitor and got a tour guide just for myself. We talked about the exhibition but he also asked questions about my country (Germany), so we exchanged a lot of experiences. I learned a lot in this museum, as it is maybe small but packed with information and you can see the exhibition is made with love and passion for the topic. A lovely experience and if I'll ever be around, I would visit the museum again.
