Between 1947 and early 1960s, nearly 45,000 Japanese women immigrated to America as wives of US military servicemembers. These young women left their homes to build lives within the complexities of postwar America. Explore their experiences in the Smithsonian show #JapaneseWarBrides, opening Dec 14.
Closing this weekend: two exhibitions that explore the #JapaneseWarBrides experience! See them both at IAM before they close April 6, 2025!

Happy Holidays! #Christmas in Irving looked a little different in 1926 when the town was still a small farming community. Pictured here, members of the Lucas family pose for a snowy holiday photo, bundled up and full of smiles.

Don't forget: We're closed December 25 and will reopen December 26!
