Lonely Planet review for Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience
This pan-Asian museum is devoted to Asian and Pacific American culture, history and art. Named after the first Asian elected official in the continental US, it examines the often difficult and violent meeting of Asian and Western cultures in Seattle. Particularly fascinating are the photos and displays on Chinese settlement in the 1880s and the retelling of Japanese American internment during WWII. The museum’s new home, in the historical East Kong Yick Building, housed many immigrant workers from China, Japan and the Philippines; a typical first apartment is re-created here.
