Seattle Asian-Museum-

Seattle Asian Museum reopens its doors two week ago. The institution used to be housed in an old garage and now is really fantastic home for Seattle’s Chinatown district. This museum is unique from its a self-created tribute to a hyphenated existence.

As well as the museum is called after Wing Luke, a Seattle city councilman who died in a plane crash in 1965. The museum will be a cultural home for local Asian-Americans, paying homage to their accomplishments and recounting how they overcame the many obstacles once thrown in their way.


The museum also has a balconied room on a top floor where traditional Chinese family associations would meet. The room is decorated with tin ceiling and original paintings and Chinese landscapes mixing with American scenes.
