Odysseys and Migration

Odysseys and Migration Gallery

This exhibition recounts some of the unique journeys that are in Chinese Canadian history from the 18th century to the present day.

From Chinese-Indigenous relations since 1788 to the multiple migration waves between Hong Kong and Vancouver, to 20th-21st-century migrations from countries across the world such as South Africa, Thailand, and Singapore, this introductory exhibition serves as a prelude for sharing the integral role and unique identities of Chinese diasporas in Canada.
