Incredible experience! So much cool ChinaTown and SF history. Costumes. Photos. Celebrity cameos. Definitely worth the stop if you love dance, burlesque, night club history or fabric arts. Make a reservation ahead of time online!

Really amazing little space - this museum is free with limited hours. Was able to visit on a Saturday afternoon and meet several performers in person. Visit to learn about the hidden and rich history of SF's Chinese showgirls.

Take a walk in time and relive the rich history of San Francisco's Chinatown. Ms. Clara Hsu also offers free Cantonese classes every Saturday to keep and to share her knowledge of Chinatown to all.
