The Topaz Museum is hosting a series of meetings in the San Francisco Bay Area to gather public input on fundraising plans for its proposed new building complex in Delta, Utah.

Museum officials are raising funds to build a 5,000-square-foot permanent museum in Delta, Utah, about 15 miles from the site of the World War II internment camp.

The Topaz Museum is currently sharing space with another museum in Delta. The proposed new site will allow the museum to have a place of its own to tell the whole history of Topaz.

Topaz Museum officials are holding these meetings to gather community feedback. The initial building designs — created by Shah Kawasaki Architect and West Office Exhibition Design — are being displayed and discussed at the meetings.
