Abstract	The Smithsonian Institution's public narrative often glosses over the United States Exploring Expedition (1838-1842), the historic endeavor led by Charles Wilkes that seized over 4000 specimens, artifacts, and human remains throughout Asia, the Pacific Islands, and the western coasts of the Americas, which later became the foundation of the Smithsonian's collections. Today, the Smithsonian is revered for holding one of the world's most expansive collections, a world-class resource for "the increase and diffusion of knowledge." Yet, the framework of the Smithsonian as a flagship for American exceptionalism is in growing tension with campaigns to highlight communities of color which are increasingly intersectional, fluid, and diasporic. The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center has met these challenges by introducing Culture Labs to instill emerging practices and community principles. This paper investigates the history and implications of museum programming and education practices that engage and transmute the imperial legacies of institutions. (As Provided).
