Chinese American Museum

The Chinese American Museum's mission is to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Chinese American history, art, and culture.
 
The museum's main facility is situated in the Garnier Building, which is a designated historic landmark. The building itself has a rich history and was home to the first Chinese-language newspaper in Los Angeles, the Chinese Daily News, which operated from 1948 to 1971. The Chinese American Museum opened its doors in 2003 and has since been dedicated to preserving and presenting the experiences and contributions of Chinese Americans in Southern California and beyond.
 
The museum offers a variety of exhibitions, programs, and events that explore different aspects of Chinese American heritage. Exhibitions often include artifacts, photographs, artworks, and interactive displays that highlight the history, traditions, and achievements of Chinese Americans. The museum's collection showcases the struggles and triumphs of early Chinese immigrants, their contributions to various industries and communities, and the cultural legacy they have left behind.
 
In addition to exhibitions, the Chinese American Museum hosts educational programs, workshops, lectures, and cultural events that provide opportunities for visitors to engage with Chinese American history and culture. The museum also collaborates with other organizations to organize community events and celebrations, such as the annual Lunar New Year Festival.
