Museum of Chinese in the Americas - Tourist Attractions in New York City

Founded in 1980, The Museum of Chinese in the Americas is located in Chinatown, New York City, New York, United States, and is "dedicated to reclaiming, preserving, and interpreting the history and culture of Chinese and their descendants in the Western Hemisphere." The museum's exhibits focus on the history of North America's Chinatowns and the cultural contributions of Chinese immigrants. The museum also serves as a valuable cultural center for New York's own Chinatown.
In 2005, the museum was among 406 New York City arts and social service institutions to receive part of a $20 million grant from the Carnegie Corporation, which was made possible through a donation by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.
