Recovering From the Fire


The Chicago Cultural Alliance thanks our community for their great support of the Chinese Museum of Chicago (CAMOC).We are proud that a number of our CCA members and partners recruited volunteers to help with the move out of the museum last week. Despite the great damage suffered by the structure, the volunteers, led by staff from the Field Museum and Chicago History Museum, were able to salvage much of the collection from the first and second floors of the museum.

The Chinese American Museum of Chicago needs some assistance as they continue to forge ahead in their recovery efforts.

1. Finding a new warehouse space with HVAC and security

2. Space for sorting and re-accessioning items

3. Appraiser for items lost/damaged in fire with a focus on 3D objects, textiles, and wooden furniture

4. Conservation estimates

5. Office space

Any suggestions about these items can be directed to info@chicagoculturalalliance.org
