JAMsj Grand Opening Postponed to mid-October
The grand opening of the Japanese American Museum (JAMsj), originally announced for August 28, has been rescheduled for October 16,
announced Aggie Idemoto, board president of JAMsj.
“Construction delays due to circumstances beyond our control prompted this difficult decision,” Ms. Idemoto said.
Mark your calendar for the weekend of October 16 and 17, when a variety of celebrations will take place to commemorate the opening:
Saturday, October 16, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
The much anticipated Grand Opening ceremony will be paired with a party celebrating JAMsj curator and co-founder Jimi Yamaichi’s 88th birthday.
Sunday, October 17, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Join us in a Family Day celebration. We’ll have workshops and entertainment for children and adults, followed by an Open House at the new JAMsj Museum.
Details to follow.
(Please note that this delay has also changed the dates of our Docent Training sessions, as noted below under Events).
The all-new Museum will be a major attraction in San Jose's historic Japantown, featuring 6400 square feet of interior space, thus
allowing JAMsj to significantly expand its exhibits and community events.
Our sincere thanks to all of our members, contributors, volunteers and supporters for their hard work, loyalty, and patience with the
process.
Please help us in continuing to tell the important history of Japanese Americans
by contributing to our new building campaign.
