Chinese American MuseumChinese American Museum Average User Rating: (0 votes, add your vote or comments) The Chinese American Museum (CAM) is the first such museum in Southern California dedicated to the Chinese American experience and history in the region. The 7,200 square foot museum site stands inside El Pueblo Monument, a 44-acre public park located at the City's "birthplace" in downtown Los Angeles. CAM is housed inside the oldest surviving Chinese buildings located in the City, namely the Garnier Building (423 North Los Angeles Street) and an adjacent structure (425 North Los Angeles Street). Erected exclusively for Chinese use in the 1890s, these multi-story brick structures had housed shops, schools, temples, churches, and businesses as well as dances and theatrical performances during their heyday between the 1890s and 1940s.
