Pacific Asia Museum, established in 1971 and based in Pasadena, Southern California, focuses on the arts and cultures of Asia and the Pacific Islands and serves the Los Angeles region. Its collection encompasses more than 15,000 objects spanning over four thousand years, covering a geographic range from Persia to the Pacific Islands. The museum organizes exhibitions, performances, lectures, classes, workshops, and festivals to advance intercultural understanding and provide educational access for children and families. Historically, the museum has staged groundbreaking shows, including North America's first post-Revolution exhibition of contemporary Chinese art and the United States' first Aboriginal art exhibition. It also pursues scholarship and education, producing exhibition catalogues and presenting programs that preserve cultural heritage and foster community dialogue around art, history, and culture.
