Head over to 51 East Pender Street in #VancouverBC #Chinatown & you’ll find the #historic Wing Sang Building—home of #Canada’s first #ChineseCanadian #Museum. While it may look unassuming from the streets, the inside features three floors of contemporary gallery space shrouded in period brick, a call from the past.
