Your membership represents a personal investment in the existence of this museum and ensures the continuation of a wide array of quality exhibitions, programs, and events we bring to the community. By becoming a member, you join others in preserving an important part of America’s heritage, while also bringing recognition to the history and cultural legacy of pioneering and contemporary Chinese American communities.
