This is a must-see museum for everyone to gain an appreciation for and learn the history of early Chinese settlers and the role they played in shaping the great nation of Canada. I was unprepared for the brutal narratives and flagrant examples of "acceptable" discrimination that were the norm of the times. The exhibits are thought-provoking, poignant and immersive. Tours are included with admission and well worth the time.
An amazing museum of Chinese Canadian history that all Chinese Canadians should see to truly appreciate the freedom we have today. There are many volunteers that will help explain many of the stories in the exhibits. They even have an archivist that helped us find the registration cards of my family from the 1923's Chinese Exclusion Act. My whole family learned a lot.
Newly opened just a week ago. I enjoyed the whole museum experience especially watching the videos of people talking about their lives or their ancestors'. I left with the knowledge of the 1923 Chinese Immigration Act and its impact on those Chinese bachelors and the Chinese community. It's very well curated. I would say don't miss the oral history videos!!
Stumbled upon the CCM with low expectations and ended up spending over 2 hours here. The exhibits were informative and the documentaries on the Chinese Bachelors and interviews really shed a light on the struggles and discrimination that Chinese Canadians faced. Highly recommend. Tickets were $15 for adults, cheaper for senior citizens and students.
New museum that I spotted crossing Chinatown. Beautifully done with lots of history and stories presented with a large exhibit focussed on the head tax on Chinese workers during the early 20th century. Powerful to read the stories of those affected back then. Great to visit and nice addition to the history of VancouverVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
The new Canadian Chinese Museum is incredibly well done. Opened 2 weekends ago. It’s housed in the Wing Sang building in Chinatown and I checked out the three floors of well curated artifacts, stories, history of exclusion, media, juxtaposed between original brick building and modern design. The ground floor paper trail exhibit was heart wrenching yet beautifully curated with numerous individual stories which included forgotten bachelors with no family members to carry on their legacies. I think of all these early Chinese early settlers that paved the way for my family’s disporia to this country in the 70s. I highly recommend checking it out, I plan to be back with my own daughters, family, friends and students.
I was fortunate enough to visit the Chinese Canadian Museum in their new permanent home at the Wing Sang Building in Vancouver's Chinatown, during their opening weekend. I learned so much and was so engrossed with The Paper Trail Exhibit, and left the Museum completely obsessed with The 1923 Immigration Act; wondering why I never learned about it in Social Studies class during high school. The emotions that I felt walking through the museum were strong and makes me feel so proud as a Chinese Canadian born in Vancouver, that our city and society has come to far.
Beautiful building and displays. Interactive and informative, with incredible personal stories of resilience, persistence, joy and sadness. An important part of our history that every Canadian should know!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
This is a beautiful space with a lot of history to share. We could have spent all day in this museum learning about the struggles Chinese Canadians faced migrating to Canada. I can’t wait to visit again.
Glad to see this museum which complements Chinatown storytelling centre across the street. Chinese Canadian museum highlights immigration to Canada and plight of Chinese bachelor separated from their families during exclusion period. Glad to see old photos of friends and relativesVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
