Special Exhibit — June 27 to October 29, 2011
Join us for this special exhibit featuring the Portland individuals taken by the FBI. A relatively unknown aspect to the internment experience, this exhibit features the stories, artifacts and memories of prominent members of the Portland Japanese community who were arrested just after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. Held in separate “special” camps away from family, these individuals suffered a wholly different and unique experience.
The traveling version of Taken: FBI is organized by the Oregon Nikkei Endowment in Portland. The exhibit is sponsored in part by the Oregon Heritage Commission, Spirit Mountain Community Fund, and Target.
The exhibit is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Admission: free to members; $3 nonmembers
