Poject Details

The award-winning Wing Luke Asian Museum will be relocating to the rehabilitated East Kong Yick Building, a historically significant building in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District. The move will enable an expansion of the museum’s mission and community-oriented programming. In addition to exhibit spaces, the 60,000 square foot facility will include historic immersion exhibits, classrooms, meeting rooms and a small theater. It is the only pan-Asian Pacific American museum in the country. The museum anticipates opening its doors in May of 2008. Early estimates put the construction cost at approximately $11 million.
