Discover the history and contributions of Chinese Americans to
California from the Gold Rush to the present day in “Gold
Mountain: Chinese California Stories.”
This all-new signature exhibition explores how Chinese
immigrants came to California in search of a better life, then
stayed and helped to build the modern state. In so doing
over the last 150 years, they triumphed over racism and other
obstacles with ingenuity and perseverance.
In their stories, visitors will see the contributions that
Californians of Chinese descent have made to our state’s economy,
governance, and culture, and recognize the strength that comes
from the state’s rich diversity.
