An immersive experience with a theatrical set design that brings history to life through a wonderfully visual exhibit. I learned so much about the history of Chinese Americans in Portland aligned with broader trends of what was going on in Oregon and the country. I’ve also enjoyed the special exhibits and impressive performances that have been held in the space. Best of all, the staff and volunteers are incredible to interact with to hear their stories which bring history to life!

Small museum, but filled with treasures of Portlands Chinese American history. I am biased because some family ancestors are featured in the permanent exhibit Beyond the Gate. Personalized stories from the museum docent and executive director enriched our visit even more.

This is a wonderful museum, and the staff is very welcoming.Seeing history is awesome in its own right,......being right there where it all happened, made it that much more real.I will go back.

Portlands newest Museum and Oregons only museum dedicated to Chinese American history and Asian American Arts. Conventially located downtown, the museum provides an excellent venue space for up to 90 guests. The exhibit is very well curated with historical photographs, recreated storefronts, and antiques on display. The exhibit is small enough that you can visit it fairly quickly and the docents provide detailed information that makes repeat visits worthwhile.

This is an excellent museum and an important addition to Portlands civic landscape. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience if youre interested in the history of the Pacific Northwest or of the USA.

Cleanly, well-presented piece of Portland & US history with displays for adults & late-elementary+ children. Combine this with a visit to the Lan Su Chinese Garden two blocks away for a full outing.
