The Chinese American Museum of Chicago (CAMOC) is a small nonprofit museum in Chicago focused on Chinese American culture through exhibitions, education, and research, with the aim of preserving the community's history and its contributions to the Midwest. The museum occupies a historic building that formerly housed the Quong Yick Co. in Chicago's Chinatown. It opened to the public in 2005, and after a major fire in 2008 underwent renovations before reopening in 2010. It is governed by the Board of Directors of the Chinatown Museum Foundation, a Chicago-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Its programming has included the Spotlight Series, launched in 2022 to showcase work by emerging and mid-career artists of Chinese descent, and the 24th Annual Benefit Dinner held in 2025.
