Our mission is to educate and inspire by preserving and celebrating the richness of Chinese art, history, and culture.
About us
The San Diego Chinese Historical Museum is a nonprofit organization. The museum was founded in 1996, by the San Diego Chinese Historical Society under the leadership of its first three presidents: Sally Wong, Tom Hom, and Dr. Alexander Chuang. Charles Tyson donated the museum's current building, originally a Chinese mission located at 645 First Avenue, and in 1991, the City of San Diego graciously provided a piece of land in the original Chinatown area where the museum now resides. Since opening in 1996, the museum has presented more than 50 exhibits highlighting the rich tradition of Chinese culture and history in San Diego and the world.
