Chinese American Museum of Chicago

The Chinese American Museum of Chicago (CAMOC) is nestled in the heart of Chinatown, marking the first museum of its kind in the Midwest. This small but well-curated space offers a rich exploration of the Chinese American experience and their significant contributions to society. Exhibits delve into the history of Chinese cuisine, the evolution of Chicago’s Chinatown, and the somber chapters of U.S. history, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act. Visitors can immerse themselves in the stories and artifacts that bring this vibrant community’s past and present to life.
