MOCA (Museum of Chinese in America) On the Road - In-person

At Rockville Memorial Library

Join us for this pop-up event showing off artifacts from the MOCA collection and learn about the objects history and the importance of the collection! Held in the library's atrium.

MOCA on the Road is an in-person initiative and a continuation of MOCA’s acclaimed Treasures on the Road series, in which the MOCA team hosts pop-up events and visioning sessions to capture stories of celebration, hardship, family journeys, immigration, discrimination, diaspora, survival, and success from local Chinese American communities across the country. The goal of the initiative is to capture the depth and vastness of the Chinese American narrative for the development of the new national Museum of Chinese in America.

The pop-up event is a public show-and-tell where MOCA will host a mini display about the 5-alarm fire at MOCA’s Collections space and the importance of the preservation of objects and artifacts. We will bring samples from our collections to show visitors and engage in discussions about the history of the artifacts. Additionally, the museum will be sharing information on potential future projects and events happening at MOCA with visitors.
