Great small museum for Japanese history in the Pacific Northwest

I have visited the Legacy Center many times. The permanent exhibit offers a poignant education about Japantown before WWII, and also the experience of our citizens who were sent to internment camps. The changing exhibits are always excellent as well.

Very informative staff and displays. This is a great opportunity to learn about Japantown and the internment of American citizens.

A black mark on American history was had in the treatment of Americans of Japanese descent. So many Americans don't know there were concentration camps within our borders during WWII. Go, learn, grieve, and then help to prevent this atrocity in the future.

Small but contains very well presented historical artifacts and has a small souvenir store.

A very important museum, tells a very important story regarding how immigrants we're treated in the past and thinking about it in today's context.

Wonderful, small exhibit on the history of Japanese people in the West Coast. Not too far from the Greyhound Portland Station. I was very happy that I stopped here in the hour I had before needed to leave for the airport. It was perfect for my situation.

I paid an inexpensive admission fee and was very happy to learn about the Japanese Internment History which isn't covered much in history textbooks. There aren't many places like this around the area. Good value, not too big, and educational.
