Thoughts from the “Wishing Wall” at the Chinese American Museum DC

Since October of 2018, visitors getting a “sneak peek” of our museum have left their thoughts behind in the form of written, hanging tags in our rear theater. Some suggested prompts offered are: What are your hopes for the future? What is unique about you? What is your story in two sentences? Who is in your thoughts? What would you say to your ancestors? What strengths do you draw from the past? What will be your legacy?

Below are some examples of messages left behind. We can’t wait for you to come see these in person. In the meantime, click on the images below to see more.
