 The Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience, also known as the Wing, offers an authentic perspective on an important part of the American story. As a National Park Service-affiliated area and the first Smithsonian affiliate in the Pacific Northwest, the Wing strives to connect everyone to the rich history, dynamic cultures, and art of Asian Pacific Americans through vivid storytelling and inspiring experiences. Of note is the museum's approach to exhibition development and oral history gathering. By pulling together community members, advisory committees, museum staff, and other researchers and creators, the Wing creates dynamic exhibits and programming that shares a unique and untold story. The 60,000 square foot building tells the community's story with contemporary galleries showcasing temporary and permanent exhibits, as well as remarkably preserved historic spaces throughout the building. The Wing's influence also reaches beyond its own walls, serving as an anchor for the historically and culturally vibrant Chinatown International District. Whether spotlighting the struggles of early Asian pioneers or showcasing accomplished works by National Asian Pacific American artists, the Wing shows us all what it means to be American.
