::A boutique museum done beautifully. Experience the historical arc of Chinese in Los Angeles and indeed the United States. Exhibits follow their timeline from the early 1800s to today via photos, atifacts, clothing, art and a full-size Chinese Herb Shop. Knowledgeable personnel are available for questions. It's a a 30 - 60 minute stop. Entrance is on the west side of Los Angeles St, about 1/2 block north of the 101 fwy - look for the sidewalk sandwich board sign.

::Small museum but great history and experience. You learn a lot about the Chinese American experience in Los Angeles and about the history of Chinatown.

::This is hidden in the heart of Los Angeles and it's an interesting piece of history. I recommend everyone visit it at least once in their lifetimes.

::We recently made a day of seeing a handful of the small museums in this area and the Chinese American Museum was definitely one of the nicer ones. It is a very small museum and I think could be cooler. The storytelling of the museum could be a bit more narrative and there could be more things for kids to do. The highlight for sure was the Herb Shop room! That was super cool and had things that kids could pull out and look at. The woman who worked there was very nice and informative. While I wouldn't make a day trip to the area just for this museum, this area is CERTAINLY worth a day trip! My toddler and I literally visited 6 museums! There are small museums all around here and almost all of them are free! Start your journey with a walk down Olvera Street! Catch the Avila Adobe, maybe have lunch or a snack. Then walk across the way and visit The Chinese American Museum, the Plaza Firehouse Museum and the new Gateway to Nature (which is a nature center full of things for kids to do). Then walk across the street to La Plaza De Culturas y Artes museum. Maybe poke your head into Our Lady of Angeles Church. I'm very Atheist, but this is historic as it's literally what named and started Los Angeles. Then continue down Main street and hit up the American Tropical Historical Museum and end with the Italian American Museum! There are a few other things in there too I think I missed. A great day!

::Interesting ongoing timeline exhibition "Journeys" about the Chinese migration to California, federal laws and other challenges. Fascinating Chinese Caribbean exhibition on the 2nd floor with videos. Didn't have time to visit the Birth and Rise of Chinese American Communities in LA. Very informative receptionist. Free admission - donations box. A bit confusing to find the entrance to the compound of buildings where the museum is located.
