The new Topaz Stories: Children Behind Barbed Wire Exhibit was recently installed at the Japanese American Museum of San Jose and will open on August 2, 2025. It was so much fun that I thought I’d share some photos.
But first, a great big thanks to Tyler Hirabayashi, whose company, Jonathan Hirabayashi Design, printed gorgeous panels. Tyler also spent a day helping his dad, our exhibit designer (Jonathan) prep the walls and do all the groundwork so we could come in the next day and start mounting panels.
What a team! Jonathan does the hard stuff and explains the easy stuff to the rest of us.
