Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre

Our Mission

• Is to honor, preserve, and share the history and heritage of Japanese Canadians and Japanese culture in Canada.
• Since September 22, 2000, our multi-use space, featuring a Japanese Canadian garden located in Burnaby, BC, has offered unique programming, exhibits, and events, as a community place open to all.
• Within the museum repository we care for 3000+ objects, 52,500+ photographs, 50+ meters of textual records, 670+ oral history recordings, and 191 film reels of historically and culturally significant items.
• Community engagement and best practices ensure the legacies of people of Japanese ancestry in Canada live on into the future.
