Portland Chinatown Museum
The Portland Chinatown Museum (PCM) is Oregon’s first museum about Chinese American history, art, and culture. Opened in 2018, in an historic building at NW Third Avenue and Davis Street, the Museum honors Portland Chinatown’s past, celebrates its present, and is helping to create its future. The permanent exhibition gallery features a 2,400 square foot exhibition Beyond the Gate: A Tale of Portland’s Historic Chinatowns, and two front temporary galleries serve as a venue for the work of contemporary Asian American artists in all media and as the site for storytelling about the immigrant experience, film series, lectures, and other public programs. PCM is operated by the Portland Chinatown History Foundation, which was founded in 2014 by a group of Chinese American elders in response to a rapidly changing Chinatown.
