Sam HDecember 15, 2017amazing exhibits and curators, really recommend it if you're unfamiliar with Chinese American history. You don't have to be Chinese or Chinese American to learn!
Dustin LeeMay 18, 2019Unique and informative museum about a piece of history often forgotten by both sides. Free at night first Thu of every month. If you can, read in both Chinese and English to get all the nuances
Kick ass spot. Super cool shop. Rotating exhibits and family learning center means never a dull moment for you in this beautiful space!

John WApril 2, 2011Varied events, interactive exhibits & Maya Lin's space design bring broad appeal to this community museum (I recall the old space). Just wish they expanded on/explored different notions of Chineseness

Pair the visit with MoFaD’s exhibit on Chinese food!- ElisaMay 10, 2017Impressive permanent exhibit.They have free night Thursdays but the admission price is already very reasonable at $10.

"Quaint little museum for some history lessons. 30 - 45 minute experience at most. A good destination to get out of the more dense parts of Manhattan."
