Nice place to visit, good for families
Absolutely loved this museum! It was like walking into people's lives and they'd just left the room. It was incredibly interesting and informative with a range of media and exhibits to portray life in Chinatown in the 1960s. It was very immersive and the staff were so helpful and friendly. I would 100% recommend this as a perfect way to spend a morning!
