This museum is small, but is full of interesting artifacts about China. It also has an art exhibit, usually, on the second floor of various Asian artists. In the back room on the first floor is an exhibit of a typical Chinese store. They have actual shelving, drawers and other artifacts pertinent to the time period, the 1800's. You can even open some of the drawers to see what might have been its contents.
I do recommend this museum for a class field trip because of this particular exhibit. It is highly educational, and would give the students experiential knowledge of a Chinese store in the United States during the 19th century. This would be good for a World Cultures/World History class.
