About
Museum where you can explore Vancouver's Chinese Canadian history through photos and stories from the early nineteen hundreds. You'll get to see stories from the railway workers who helped build the country, the buzzing Chinatown nightlife back in the fifties to eighties, and the barrier breakers who redefined what it means to be Canadian. There's even a vintage style phone booth where you can pick up the receiver and listen to real stories from Chinatown's past. The museum has recreated the Yuqiuqiao Photography Studio, where you can snap your own vintage style portrait and even send it to family and friends as a virtual postcard.
