Currently, the museum has two temporary exhibits. One of them showcases the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles. On display were photographs, street signs, artwork, and artifacts from the area. Images and various histories of many different ethnic groups were on display. There were yearbooks, pictures, and letterman jackets from Roosevelt High School from the 1940's. Also on display was a stained glass window from a Jewish retirement home.

Another exhibit in the museum was called "Common Ground: The Heart of Community." This is an ongoing exhibit. It gave viewers and overview of 130 years of Japanese American history. There were many objects on display from the Issei generation, to World War II, leading up to the present. There were boxes used for storing raisins from Japanese American farms, wedding attire, tools used in pharmacology, desks from Japanese schools, and a barracks from Heart Mountain. There was a separate section for World War II. On display in that section were anti-Japanese articles and signs. There were pictures from the camps. Medals from the 442nd were on display as well. I got a chance to speak briefly with a veteran from the 442nd. We could not talk much; it seemed like he was a popular person who everyone wanted
