UNBOXED: With over 150,000 objects in JANM’s permanent collection, every artifact has a story to tell about the people, places and events from America’s past and the Japanese American experience. “Unboxed” is a series of short videos that highlight the artifacts and stories in JANM’s permanent collection.
