San Diego Chinese Historical Museum

Permanent and changing galleries delve into the broader Chinese diaspora alongside regional roots, featuring focused subjects such as displays on Chinese refugees in Shanghai and 19th-century traditional medicine. Outside the relatively compact gallery spaces, the grounds feature a Chuang garden centered around a statue of Confucius. The programming also reaches past the museum walls, pairing lectures and educational events with guided walking tours of the surrounding Asian Pacific Thematic Historic District.
