TLDR: 3 floors with lots of stories from all different types of Asian American cultures!
This was a great place to read about the experiences of not just Chinese Americans, but Japanese and Korean, Guam and Filipino, and more! It spanned three floors and had different exhibits for kids, recreations, and exhibits. Very friendly service and awesome exhibits, come

We very much enjoyed our trip to the Wing Luke today! The space is beautiful and the exhibits are thoughtful. Overall, our visit was enhanced by the great tour of the historically preserved store and hotel spaces. Would recommend for first time visitors as an introduction to the CID and its history. And to cap it off they have the best museum gift shop!
Big fan of the gift shop. It lives up to the information on the site "Our Marketplace is more than a gift shop and bookstore, our store sources from over 100 small businesses as part of our commitment to being a community-based organization. "
Gift shop is at the entrance of the museum so if you don't have time, you can visit here only.
Best place for Seattle souvenirs, support local and things that represent Seattle values. This is a hidden gem ! From cute stickers to pins to chocolate to books to postcards.

Very deep, very intricate museum blending art and history. It was an immersive experience to be in a historic building, surrounded by modern art and also historical exhibits. We saw the Guma' Gela' exhibit featuring costume design from the Mariana islands. We also saw the rotating temporary exhibit about the resistance in the Japanese internment camps. Amazing, emotional experience and so impactful. Many rooms to explore
The Wing Luke museum was very interesting and informative! A good sized collection of contemporary art/instillations, alongside exhibits highlighting the history and perseverance of the AAPI diaspora especially in regards to the United States. There were a few sections specifically dedicated to Bruce Lee (due to his connection to Seattle) that were well thought out.
We did a tour and that was definitely! The highlight of our time. It was Awesome to hear about the history of AAPI people in Seattle and walk thru historic buildings and rooms. Our tour guide Don did a phenomenal job!

The exhibits are very informative and interesting. The tour of the old shop and hotel by Don was amazing.
What an amazing museum. It was great to learn so much about the various Asian communities in Seattle. The history was very interesting and there was a docent that took us on the tour was so knowledgeable. Allow 1-3 hours depending on how much you want to read and if you take the tour.
