The museum, at 127 N.W. Third Ave., opened this summer, the result of a four-year collabora- tion among the Portland Chinese community, the Portland China- town Historical Foundation, and funding organizations, including Prosper Portland. It will focus on preserving the history of the Old Town/Chinatown neighborhood, with programming that addresses the critical issues of our time - immigration, national and ethnic identity, gender and race. The inaugural exhibition now on display showcases new photo- graphs by the museum’s first visit- ing artist in residence Dean Wong, “Made in Chinatown, USA: Portland,” is a collection of photo- graphs documenting the complex- ity, vibrancy, beauty, and pride of Chinatown and its people. A nationally acclaimed photog- rapher, Wong, is a second-gener- ation Chinese American born and raised in Seattle’s Chinatown-In- ternational District. His book Seeing the Light: Four Decades in Chinatown was praised by the New York Times as an “eloquent documentation of complex and evolving communities.” The Portland Chinatown Mu- seum’s summer hours are Thurs- days, from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Fri- day’s from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is a suggest- ed $5 and free on First Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
