A museum in a modern establishment — housing artifacts culled and collected from more than 500 years of history and a lot more located on the fourth floor of the new hotel of Lucky Chinatown Mall in Binondo, Manila — is the country’s newest point of general interest.
Launched and opened to the public on June 8, Chinatown Museum tells the story of the world’s oldest Chinatown that is Binondo. Its 18 galleries showcase how Chinese culture has been ingrained into the Filipino way of life.
