Longtime Director Of Seattle’s Asian Museum To Retire

“Ron Chew, a self-taught curator who turned a rundown museum into a nationally acclaimed institution for Asian history and culture, will retire at the end of the year. With the Wing Luke Asian Museum scheduled to complete its $23 million capital campaign and relocate into a historic, three-story building in the Chinatown-International District by early next year, executive director Chew said he has achieved all his goals.”
