MOCA sign - upside down

2/9/20: This framed water-damaged Chinese calligraphy scroll (photo below) was recovered from our archives at 70 Mulberry Street. It says “Museum of Chinese in the Americas” which was the precursor to MOCA before the museum changed its name officially in 2009 to Museum of Chinese in America.

During the transfer to our recovery area, it was accidentally placed upside down. Seeing it upside down triggers so many emotions, as if the fire has literally turned MOCA and her world upside down and we don’t know when or if things will be right side up again.
