The place to learn the Chinese immigrant history- to understand our ancestors rising spirit and their journey of achieving American dreams. It makes me feel proud to be Chinese.
Museum of Chinese in America is a contemporary art museum that has its walls adorned with post modern and modern art pieces from many artists. The building itself sticks out among the rest, a piece of art if you ask me which was funded by Eli Museum of Chinese in America. It is a popular destination; I would suggest making a reservation a few days to perhaps a week in advance.
The Museum began as a community-based organization founded in 1980 as the New York Chinatown History Project by historian John Kuo Wei Tchen and community resident/activist Charles Lai. It was created to develop a better understanding of our Chinese American history and community and to respond to the concern that the memories and experiences of aging older generations would perish without oral history, photo documentation, research and collecting efforts. Through the years, MOCA has developed into a trusted community anchor and educational resource.
One of my favorite museums to visit. Very informative for Children and Adults. A great place to bring your kids to learn. Lots hands on things for kids to do.
Highly educational museum for those interested in Chinese American history. Small museum, so can be completed in an hour or less. My favorite part is reading the biographies of notable Chinese Americans. The gift shop is also worth stopping by for novelty items and books. The Chinatown tour was less informative than I was hoping.
