It was a cold morning when I visited this museum to study display strategies and other activities to enhance museum management.
With me was Miss Ting who was in charge of the Sibu World Fuzhou History Gallery (in the photo).
We enjoyed touring the museum which is divided into six sections: production and development of overseas Chinese, tragedies of Overseas Chinese before Liberation of China, the friendship between overseas Chinese and the people of the host countries, the contribution of the Chinese to PRC, the past and present of the community of overseas Chinese, the review of overseas Chinese.
We saw more than 2000 cultural relics, handicrafts donated by overseas Chinese. This was what Tan Kah Kee had envisaged. There were also more than 1000 pieces of specimens of rare birds, beasts and aquatic animals. The exhibition hall covers an area of 2400 sq.m.

This is an awesome model of Overseas Chinese shop lots found in the museum.
What a wonderful visit to this Overseas Chinese Museum and to pay respect to Tan Kah Kee.
