On January 26, 2020, the California Museum hosted the opening exhibit – Gold Mountain: Chinese California Stories. The VIP breakfast was sponsored and hosted by the following donors and community organizations: Dr. Herbert Yee and Yee family, Asian Pacific Islander Public Affairs Association and the US China Railroad Friendship Association. The guest speakers included: State Controller Betty T. Yee, Senator Richard Pan, Journalist Lisa Ling, CC Yin, and Amanda Blake. Lisa Ling about her experiences as a Journalist while Lawrence Tom spoke about his new book titled, The Last Chinatown. At 1 pm, the Lion Dancers showcase the opening of the Gold Mountain exhibit.<\/p>\n

In addition, there was a special documentary shown by a former Set-Designer wo worked at Walt Disney studios. The documentary describes a miniature house designed against a San Francisco Chinatown environment. The creator passionately spoke of the fond memories going through each room showing the delicate colors and textures of hand-made furniture – from a kitchen scene to a living room filled with colorful furniture.<\/p>\n

The exhibit showcases the Chinese contribution from the Gold Rush Days to the current period. The museum tastefully separated scenes through literature, photos, artifacts, and video-recordings: Gold Rush, Delta reclamation, Angel Island, Chinese medicine.<\/p>\n
