Museum of Chinese in America

Description

This expansive museum at the convergence of SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown uses oral histories, video, photographs and written documents to bring to life the experiences of this vibrant immigrant community. The museum’s dramatic home, designed by acclaimed architect Maya Lin—who created the Vietnam Veterans Memorial—features bronze walls, reclaimed wood floors and a "journey wall" that describes the route each donor's family took to the United States.
