Chung Collection celebration in the media

By Glenn Drexhage on April 17, 2008

The celebration of the new home for the Wallace B. Chung and Madeline H. Chung Collection, held on April 15, 2008, has received much media attention.

“A four-metre-long builder’s model of the CPR luxury ocean liner Empress of Asia — the pride of Canada’s maritime fleet in the early 20th century — is the centrepiece of the Chung Collection, which now has a permanent home at the University of B.C.”

Read more online, “$5 million, 25,000 items and UBC = a collection with special meaning,” in the Vancouver Sun.

The story also featured an online image gallery with images from the Chung Collection.

News about the Chung Collection also appeared in 24 Hours, the Sing Tao, Ming Pao and Epoch Times publications, and Ming Pao’s Saturday Magazine.
