Morikami Museum.

Florida, USA
The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens is a center for Japanese arts and culture in USA.

The park and museum are named after George Morikami, a native of Miyazu, Japan, who donated his farm to Palm Beach County to be used as a park. George Morikami was the only member of the Yamato Colony, Florida to stay in Delray Beach after World War II.

The Morikami Collections house more than 7,000 Japanese art objects and artifacts, including a 500-piece collection of tea ceremony items, more than 200 textile pieces, and fine art acquisitions.

“Our mission is to engage a diverse audience by presenting Japanese cultural experiences that educate and inspire.” – Morikami Museum.

GBH is proud to be a part of this worthy mission. Every day we do our best to preserve objects valuable for world culture.
