Drawing of the The Chinese American Museum of Los Angeles by artist Sammy Yuen. CAMLA was established in 2003, and located in the historic Garnier Building, one of the last standing buildings of Old Chinatown before the neighborhood was demolished to build Union Station Passenger Terminal in 1933-1938. CAMLA is dedicated to researching, preserving, and sharing the experiences and contributions of Chinese Americans in the United States through quality exhibitions, programs, events, publications, and workshops.
