Eddy G: Quilts and textile art aren’t usually my thing, but this gallery was pretty nice. Actually stood out as one of the better ones on this street for the First Friday Art Walk.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure …

Laurel Clayson: The highlight of my trip to the Bay Area! It is on the smaller side, but incredibly well curated. I spent over an hour here. Your mileage may vary depending on your level of enthusiasm for textiles. I especially loved "You May Recognize Yourself," a show of mostly monochrome sewn portraits of women seen from the back, made of household textiles of the type that may have historically been found in a dowry, like tablecloths and bed linen. I did indeed recognize myself.Recommend for everyone who enjoys art, textiles, sewing, or crafts.

Charlene Teets: Cute little Museum, if you sew in any capacity you will appreciate their pieces. They had some really cool pieces especially in the back rooms. They also had a small shop to get some interesting gifts. We found some easy parking on the street but I can imagine that it is difficult at peak times. The front desk person was very kind and approachable.

Cheryl Willis: Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes

Bruce S.: Wow, the Japanese American Museum is amazing. Though it's not huge, there's a lot to see. There's information and photos from J-town in the past. The 442nd regimental combat team with their motto "Go For Broke". They were the most decorated combat team in WWll. They rescued "The Lost Battalion" from Texas. There's a lot of information and photos from the internment of Japanese Americans, including a replica of an internment barrack.There was also a Kimono exhibit when I went, but I think that the exhibit is over now.There's also a section on Redress with information and photos.It was very touching to tour the museum and I'd recommend that you visit the museum!!

Regina B (RejB): Great history and fun experience for kid to wear kimono and make paper dolls. Worth checking outVisited on Weekend Wait time Up to 10 min Reservation recommended No …

Ai-Lich Nguyen: and spoke about their family experience in internment camps. It was a very emotional visit for me.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No …

Rosalinda Rodriguez: Great historical museum! It's a moderate size facility with a vast amount of information and authentic displays of American Japanese history. There's a lot to see here so plan accordingly. Docent tours are also available. Beautifully and honorably done!Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure …

K M: We spent about an hour here looking at the amazing history shared by the museum. We learned more about how Americans has to over come the bias of fellow Americans because they are Asian. The museum did a great job of showcasing the lifes of so many great people.I wish I has taken photos but I was so immersed in learning that I forgot to take pics. But we will be back next time we're in San Jose.Entrance was $16 for two people and we spent about an hour here. There is limited parking on the side of the building and also free street parking. You can park on the street and walk around JapanTown!

Oleg S: Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No

Joe San: Clean and nearby JapanTown. The ticket menu says “Military Family Members Free” but should say “Active Duty Military: Free” since only the service member is admitted free, not their family members. Lost a star because of this.Aside from that, the museum is clean, items well described, and well organized. Excellent barracks display and farm equipment display. Heavy emphasis on FDR’s unconstitutional internment of US citizens following the “sneak” attack on Pearl Harbor.They showed case studies of three honorable US citizens of Japanese descent who filed lawsuits but lost their court cases because the FBI hid crucial evidence that they exhibited zero risk to the security of country prior to their internment. Politicians and the media should be doing all they can to prevent any U.S. citizen from being victims of this type of government conduct today.

Vamsee Yadalam: Keen to spend time knowing the history of Egypt and about reason behind mummification, then do step into this Museum to explore. All the artefacts have detailed write ups for you to know and learn about the significance.Museum is small but you can spend upto 2 hours by going thru the literature and also play the ancient game Senet!Audio guide wasnt available. Had it been there, it would have made the experience even more immersive.

Life Begins With L: I really enjoyed the set up of this museum, it was beautiful. There are a lot of replicas which I struggle with but also totally understand. They had actual mummies here though anf it was very interesting to see the process of this and know the stories behind the remains. I loved the alchemy section of this museum very interesting.Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No …

David Liu: Was only inside for 10 minutes then had to leave but what I saw was good and had enough exhibits to keep you engaged. Outside are gardens that provided enough trails and space for walks.

Mark Hayes: was mostly informative with the actual history, which was a lot more interesting, and made the visit more enjoyable.Overall, the house was really neat to walk through, getting a glimpse into the past and why some rooms and staircases are the way they are. If you're tall, be sure to duck!Be prepared to arrive early enough to avoid missing your tour. Traffic into and around the area can get really bad.

Dominic Beltran: Was a delightful experience, tour was good, did it during the day got to look at everything , would recommend for a different experienceVisited on Weekday Wait time Up to 10 min Reservation recommended Yes …

Tracey Cleary: . I am glad I went but the price was a bit high. One last thing, go earlier in the day or earlier in the year if you can, it gets pretty warm

Brandy Saunders: So I’m very glad I did some research before I went here. The whole ghost psychic stories you hear about Mrs. Winchester I read were more after she died, and told by the family that bought her property. I feel they did it for the money and tourism. From what I read Mrs. Winchester was a strong independent woman, and in her time if you were a strong independent women you were viewed sometimes as a crazy woman. Amazing beautiful home! I’m just glad I read about her before I went and listened to the tour so I could make my own opinion about her, and her home. While I liked the tour I like going at my own pace, I felt the guided tour was a little longer than it needed to be. I believe they do the guided though because people have gotten lost before.

Faith Capalia: was so so nice and gave me the email address of someone I can contact to have one sent to me. Another employee felt bad that I couldn’t get a pressed penny and offered stickers to my partner and I. Everyone was so kind and I’m so happy to have gone!! I can’t wait to go back again for the extended tour!!

Jacob R.: I had a blast! Griffin was an excellent tour guide who combined some funny moments with the genuine history of this fascinating structure and its creator. The ghost stories may be exaggerated but the architectural oddities are not, and it was just as wonderful and strange as I hoped it would be!
