Walk around the areas below Canal Street and take in Chinatown, the most robust ethnic neighborhood in New York City since it was settled in the 1800s. Few people, including children, know the particular hardships and history of Chinese immigrants in the City, and so the MoCA was founded to set the story straight. A modest-size museum in the heart of Chinese New York, the MoCA houses historical artifacts, photos, art, and interactive displays and maps. A theater in the building showcases traditional and contemporary performances, a great respite from Chinatown’s famously crowded streets.
