Wing Luke Museum’s Historic Hotel Tour
Step into history as Wing Luke Museum’s education guides lead you through the East Kong Yick building, a space built in 1910 that has housed storefronts, hotels, family associations, family apartments, and now the Museum. Move into the past and experience the Yick Fung Store, Freeman Hotel, Gee How Oak Tin Family Association, & more.
The Wing Luke Museum is an art and history museum that focuses on the culture, art and history of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. It is located in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District. Established in 1967, the museum is a Smithsonian Institution affiliate and the only pan-Asian Pacific American community-based museum in the United States.
You are free to explore the rest of the museum on your own, either before or after the hotel tour. After the tour, you have the option of joining in a no-host lunch at a local restaurant.
