However\, these buildings have stood for decades and each hol ds multiple stories within its walls. The architecture tells us about the origins of the owners and their aspirations in Victoria\, while the busine sses that operated in these spaces have been vital to the region’s econo mic and social development. \nBeyond the architecture and commercial histo ry\, the personal narratives of families provide a window into the daily l ives of those who once lived in these buildings—offering a glimpse into the past and weaving together the rich tapestry of Chinatown’s legacy. \ n“This exhibit not only celebrates the history of Chinatown\, but also h ighlights the dedication and collaborative spirit of our community\,” sa ys VCMS Board Chair Dr. Grace Wong Sneddon. “We are grateful for the con tributions of community members who made this exhibit possible by generous ly sharing their family stories. We invite everyone to join us in explorin g the many layers of Chinatown’s legacy.” \n“If These Walls Could Ta lk: Exploring Chinatown’s Stories 舊牆留聲” marks a significant milestone as it is the first exhibit curated by museum staff and board mem bers. The exhibit will run until spring 2027.\n\nOngoing through March 31\ , 2027.
