Overall, I would say that I learned a great deal about the history of Chinese-Americans who lived through a turbulent time here in the Portland area. The museum was clean. Apparently, they offer a language course for those interested in learning Chinese (not sure if they teach Mandarin or Cantonese). The kind woman, who is presumably in charge, gave a detailed explanation about the museum and the exhibits as soon as I walked in. Military veterans are eligible for an admission discount!

I went as a chaperone for my kid's 3rd grade class trip. Our tour guides were really engaging and the kids were riveted for over an hour. They all left excited about the history of the Chinese people. If you can't catch a tour, the information plaques are thorough, but really glad we had a tour guide for additional background (thanks Mike!). The museum was great about helping our teacher integrate the information into their lesson plan. Our family will be back. Thank you!

I walked in completely by chance and ended up learning a lot about the history of the Chinese and Chinese-Americans who came to/lived in Portland. The exhibits are georgously presented and Tracy graciously offered to give me a tour of the museum. I really appreciated her anecdotes and perspectives on the various periods. May the museum live long and prosper!
