MOCA is open with FREE admission until Mar. 27

The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA), in celebration of receiving a generous donation from Mackenzie Scott, is open with free admission for all throughout the run of the Responses exhibition, ending March 27, 2022. 

Responses is an offering to our country in a moment of crisis. Chinese and Asian Americans are being blamed as the genesis of the coronavirus and targeted in assaults across the country, harming their bodies as well as their sense of belonging. To help us navigate what is happening, the exhibition explores the lessons of history and raises a collective voice against the rising tide of anti-Asian hate and violence.

As part of Responses, MOCA has commissioned new music composers ARKAI (Philip Sheegog and Jonathan Miron) and modern dance company J CHEN PROJECT to create new time-based works responding to and interpreting the exhibition’s themes. Visit MOCA’s website (mocanyc.org) for live, in-person performance schedules.

No reservations needed for individual visits. 

The Museum is open during the following hours: 

Sunday 11AM – 6PM

Monday – Wednesday CLOSED

Thursday 11AM – 9PM

Friday 11AM – 6PM

Saturday 11AM – 6PM

The museum is located at 215 Centre Street, New York, NY 10013.

About MOCA

The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) aims to engage audiences in an ongoing and historical dialogue, in which people of all backgrounds are able to see American history through a critical perspective, to reflect on their own experiences, and to make meaningful connections between: the past and the present, the global and the local, themselves and others.
