The New Americans Museum - San Diego, California
The New Americans Museum is a dedicated to telling the stories of immigration experiences and document via oral histories the personal testimonials to those who have relocated to the United States.
I worked with Director Gayle Hom to build and prepare the museum for the Grand Opening. The museum includes an exhibits gallery, a learning and research center and a recording studio for the collection of oral histories from immigrant groups of San Diego.
