Chinese American Museum

Chinese American Museum review

While CAM's address in El Pueblo might seem a little incongruous, its location is actually very appropriate. This was LA's original Chinatown, and the Garnier building, in which part of the museum sits, is the most historic Chinese structure in the area: built in 1890, when Chinese immigrants dominated in this part of town, it's been home to a number of community organisations. Exhibits spotlight the history of LA's Chinatown and the more general experience of Chinese Americans in the US.
