Be inspired by the Pacific Asia Museum. Designed in the style of a Chinese imperial palace and located in the heart of Old Town Pasadena, the Pacific Asia Museum provides thirteen permanent exhibition spaces showcasing the art, history and culture of Asia and the Pacific Islands as well as two rotating exhibition spaces with a focus on Asian and Pacific Islander voices and visions.

After exploring our galleries, spend as much time as you’d like in our Zen Garden where you can converse with friends while drinking Japanese tea and reflect with others next to our koi pond or enjoy programming featuring traditional lion dancing and traditional Taiko drumming in our auditorium. Finish off the evening enjoying cuisine and sampling Saki from around Pasadena showcasing food and beverage from all over Asia and the Pacific Islands.

USC Pacific Asia Museum is 3 blocks and a 5-minute walk from the Hilton Pasadena.

Cost: $50 – includes appetizers and drinks
