Future Exhibits
The Chinese American Experience
Opening in 2008
The Chinese American Experience, MOCA’s new core exhibit will bring to life the Museum’s unique historical content and birth a compelling art work by fusing itself with the architectural heart of its new home designed by Maya Lin on Centre Street. Metaphorically and literally, this “heart” will ground visitors, and be the focal point of the “new MOCA experience.” This presentation is an innovative approach to museum and exhibition design. It will facilitate a new way of interacting with content: through the evocative use of space that stirs visitors’ emotions and breaks down barriers to deeper learning and understanding.
MOCA StoryMap
Now Accepting Submissions
Part of the core exhibit, the MOCA StoryMap gathers and documents the Chinese-American experience, one story at a time. By mixing images, audio and geography, each family story is catalogued and shared, creating a group portrait. Web access enables national participation, while a special interface in the museum allows for group activity and investigation.
