About this Event

Join the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center (APAC) at the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) to experience , an exhibition showcasing the contributions of Asian Americans to Washington, DC.

Visitors can enjoy a guided tour of the exhibition at noon, followed by a drop-in activity from 1-3 p.m. where you can make your own Philippine parol (a star lantern) and learn about the history of this traditional decoration. This is our very last Sightlines Saturday, so be sure you don’t miss out!  

Presented by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, the Sightlines exhibition is on view on the first floor of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Meet in the Sightlines: Chinatown and Beyond gallery. For assistance, ask the service desk in the G Street Lobby of the Smithsonian American Art Museum
