Chic...Cute...and Chinese


Museum of Chinese in America
Post by:admin

In the NY Times Art section yesterday, they introduced the new location of Museum of Chinese in America.  Their new home is on the edge of Chinatown in New York City, at 211-215 Centre Street.

One of the most thoughtful and interesting details I am intrigued by is the two entrances designed by Maya Lin (who also designed the Vietnam Memorial in Washington).  The two entrances symbolize the museum’s twin mission: helping Americans to understand the Chinese culture better and vice versa.

Their grand opening ceremony is scheduled for September 22nd this year.  I will be blogging more about this, so stay tuned.
