Chinese American Museum DC
About Chinese American Museum DC
The Chinese American Museum DC (abbreviated CAMDC) is a cultural museum in Downtown Washington, DC, established through the efforts of The Chinese American Museum Foundation, private benefactors, and the general public. The museum focuses on the history of Chinese in America with an emphasis on the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, racial and social issues, cultural topics, and the achievements of past and contemporary Chinese Americans. The project began in late 2017, first with the bequest of a 1907 historic, 5-story building in the Embassy Row section of D.C., four blocks north of the White House. The museum had been open to visitors during its development and has recently reopened to the public after pandemic restrictions.
