Description
The institution preserves the heritage of Chinese Americans through exhibitions, archives, and public programs. The galleries trace the hardships and contributions of immigrants throughout history. While the space itself is well-organized, visitors should expect a reading-heavy layout: several exhibits feature small wall text stretching from floor to ceiling.
