Located on the north side of 23rd Street about 1/2 block west of Wentworth, the Chinese American Museum of Chicago hosts a permanent collection which promotes the culture and history, through exhibitions, education, and research, of Chinese-Americans in the Midwest.

A serious fire in 2008 resulted in the loss much of the original collection and forced the temporary closure of the museum. Re-opened in 2010 with a revitalized collection, the museum is definitely worth seeing while in Chinatown.
