Museum of Chinese in the Americas: Centre Street Location opens 9/22


In case you didn't know, the Museum of Chinese in the Americas is relocating from its old location on Mulberry in Chinatown to spectacular new digs on Centre Street, only a few blocks south of us. The opening is this Tuesday, 9/22, and for five days the museum will offer free admission! Although student admission after that is only $4, you should still take advantage of it sometime this week:
Tuesday, September 22: 1:30 pm – 4:00 pm (last entry at 3:30 pm)
Wednesday, September 23: 11:00 am – 5:00 pm (last entry at 4:30 pm)
Thursday, September 24: 11:00 am – 5:00 pm (last entry at 4:30 pm)
Friday, September 25: 11:00 am – 5:00 pm (last entry at 4:30 pm)
Saturday, September 26: 10:00 am – 5:00 pm (last entry at 4:30 pm)
Over at the blog I run with Professor Cyrus Patell, A History of New York, I've got a longer post up about the museum, past and present, as well as links to a New York Times blog Q&A on gentrification in Chinatown, in three parts, which would probably make good reading before your visit.
