Proposed Asian American History Museum at the Great Park
The Irvine City Council has given an enthusiastic thumbs-up to the development of an Asian American History Museum (AAHM) in the Great Park.
The proposed museum will be one of the main attractions of the Cultural Terrace West area of the Great Park, adjacent to the existing Sports Complex.
The museum will total some 220,000 square feet — including 94,000 square feet of exhibition space and a 125,000 square-foot sculpture garden and plaza.
It will also feature a 300-seat auditorium, a gift shop and conference rooms, and an Asian Food Hall, which will be added in the second phase.
The AAHM will be privately funded, with no City funding.
