Major Upgrades And Ambitious Plans For Seattle Museum

Seattle’s Wing Luke Asian Museum is reopening this weekend in its impressive new home. “The move of this 42-year-old museum around the corner… the size of that new home (60,000 square feet or eight times the size of the old), its expanded ambitions (projecting 60,000 annual visitors instead of 15,000) — all this is a considerable achievement for an institution that used to be housed in an old garage and that now hopes to be an anchor for revitalizing Seattle’s Chinatown.”
