Celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month at The Crow Museum

May marks Asian Pacific American Heritage Month—a time to honor the vibrant Asian Pacific community that enriches our city. While virtual experiences have become the norm, the Crow Museum of Asian Art continues to celebrate in person and online, showcasing the depth and diversity of Asian cultures.

The Crow Museum, located in the Dallas Arts District since 2010, houses an impressive collection of works from China, Japan, India, Korea, and Southeast Asia. Its programs—ranging from exhibitions to workshops—offer immersive learning experiences that highlight the artistic and cultural heritage of these regions.

This month, the museum launches its “31 Days of Asia” series to honor Asian Pacific Heritage Month. Each day in May the museum will feature a new highlight on its website and social media, including 31 objects from its permanent collection, 31 mindfulness activities, 31 Dallas‑based Asian restaurants, and more.

Additionally, visitors can engage with the museum’s virtual programming. Every Wednesday at 12 p.m. join Crow Unscripted, a Facebook Live conversation led by Executive Director Amy Lewis Hofland and a roster of special guests who discuss contemporary issues in Asian art and culture. Daily mindful meditations, a Book Club, and a Movie Club round out the month’s offerings, featuring works by prominent Asian and Asian‑American creators.

For a complete schedule and updates, visit the Crow Museum’s website, Facebook, and Instagram.

  • The River With No Name: Australia s Hidden Wilderness Adventure

    When I first saw the thin blue line on the map, I knew two things for sure: I was looking at one of Australia’s last unexplored rivers, and there was no way in the world I was getting in or out of there without a helicopter. I also thought it was a terrible shame that topographical maps never show you exactly where the ravenous, five-metre crocodiles live. Australia’s Kimberley wilderness is the perfect place for an epic adventure. With a total area three times the size of England and a perma
