JANM’s Digital Guide on the Bloomberg Connects app

Welcome to our new digital guide on Bloomberg Connects, the free arts and cultural mobile app created by Bloomberg Philanthropies.

Our digital guide features visitor information, current exhibitions, upcoming events and public programs, educational resources, membership opportunities, media arts, and online projects.

It is one of the newest additions to Bloomberg Connects, which features guides to over eighty world-class cultural and humanities institutions, museums, galleries, sculpture parks, gardens, and cultural spaces. 

Use our digital guide to plan your next visit, explore our campus, and listen to the audio tours of J.T. Sata: Immigrant Modernist, Giant Robot Biennale 5 and Common Ground: The Heart of the Community with your personal headphones.

We hope you enjoy learning how Japanese Americans have strengthened US democracy, impacted arts and culture, and brought diversity and equality to America.
