Description
-
This museum publication is a 1985 pamphlet guide created by the Harvard East Asian Program at The Children’s Museum, Boston. This material aims to educate visitors about Boston’s Chinatown and Chinese grocery stores. First introduced in the exhibit “A Market in China,” displayed at The Children's Museum in Boston, “A Visit to Chinatown” thoughtfully prepared visitors for their Chinatown experience, offering preparation tips, suggesting engaging activities, providing a detailed map of the area, and sharing practical advice for shopping in Chinese grocery stores. Hand-drawn illustrations, such as spices, Chinese-style shoes, a Cantonese Dim Sum restaurant, and so on, are included throughout the text to better immerse readers in the traditional Chinese culture. Although initially aimed at educating children about Chinese culture and food, the contributors and creators thought it would be helpful to anyone interested. The pamphlet marked a significant effort in cultural education and community engagement, reflecting the rich historical context detailed in various articles about Boston's Chinatown from 1971 to 1987.
