The Victoria Chinatown Museum Society Board of Directors welcomes K. Linda Tzang as the new Associate Director of the Victoria Chinatown Museum, beginning April 1, 2026.

From 2005 to 2019 Linda was the Curator of Cultural Communities at the Royal Alberta Museum and head of interpretation for the human history galleries for the new museum that opened in 2018. As the Curator of Cultural Communities, she created Chop Suey on the Prairies, a three-year research and exhibit project that included a travelling exhibit hosted by over 20 museums across the province as well as a year-long temporary exhibit that was viewed by more than 150,000 people.

Linda has had extensive experience working with Chinese Canadian history. She and Jim Wong Chu were the co-authors of A Brief History of Chinese North America, a document distributed to schools throughout Vancouver. In 2000 she was the Local History Curator for the Chinese Cultural Centre Museum and Archives of Greater Vancouver. Since 2019 she has worked as a consultant on museum and heritage projects. Her most notable projects were curating and completing the Storytelling Centre in Vancouver, BC, and creating Meet Lee Sing Yen, an exhibit at the New Westminster Museum commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Exclusion Act.

Linda is a graduate of the University of British Columbia, and went on to earn a Master’s degree in History from McMaster University in Ontario as well as a Master’s degree in Museum Studies from the University of Leicester, UK.

She will lead exhibition planning, programming and operations for the Victoria Chinatown Museum.

“The Board of Directors looks forward to working with Linda to advance the work of the museum and tell the stories of Victoria’s Chinatown through its people, buildings and culture then and now,” says Board Chair Grace Wong Sneddon.
