Museum of Chinese in the Americas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Founded in 1980, The Museum of Chinese in the Americas is located in Chinatown, New York City, New York, United States, and is "dedicated to reclaiming, preserving, and interpreting the history and culture of Chinese and their descendants in the Western Hemisphere." The museum's exhibits focus on the history of North America's Chinatowns and the cultural contributions of Chinese immigrants. The museum also serves as a valuable cultural center for New York's own Chinatown.
