    amazing 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!

    Unique 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

    Varied 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
