Does anyone know that there is an allusion to "Tanglou Museum" near Chinatown in New York? Can you give me a general introduction? Thank you!

The Museum of Cheap Apartment is a museum that has been under preparation since 1980s.

The Cheap Apartment Museum is located in the Lower East Side of new york. For a long time, the Lower East Side was the first stop for immigrants from all over the world to come to the United States to pursue a free life. Here, immigrants from different countries and different cultural backgrounds will form their own communities and provide various social resources support for new immigrants. Until today, about 40% of the residents in the Lower East Side were not born in the United States, and there are still large-scale ethnic enclaves, such as the famous Chinatown. Today, there are still many China immigrants from Fujian and other places in Chinatown. They live in America, but they don't speak a word of English. We asked for directions near Chinatown today, and some people we met really only spoke Chinese.

The Museum of Cheap Apartment is a museum that has been under preparation since 1980s. At that time, an American historian and social activist named Abram wanted to build a museum to study and show the living conditions of immigrants who came to the United States in the19th century and the early 20th century. After raising enough money, they bought a house in Orchard Street. Through very complicated investigation and textual research, I found some living conditions of immigrants living in houses at that time, and tried to restore the indoor furniture at that time. At present, this museum is only for visiting. I went late today and only saw one at three o'clock. If you want to go, you'd better book tickets online in advance. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, all the tickets for one day have been sold out. There are about six visits to this museum, each time 15 yuan (student ticket). If you look at it all, it's probably around 90 yuan, far from the megacities and natural history museums. But I think it's worth watching only one or two movies.

The house is located at Orchard Street 108. I walked in and found that the decoration was very old. It was built in11960s. At that time, in order to solve the housing problem of immigrants, many three-and four-story apartments were built. From today's point of view, the infrastructure is very poor, and there is no electricity, running water and heating. But this house was not the worst in new york at that time, because at least it was an apartment, and it was said that there were houses made of broken boards and straw. The museum preserved the condition of the house well, and the corridor was small and dark, allowing only one person to pass through. At the beginning of last century, the landlord installed electric lights in the corridor. Before the advent of electric lights, lighting was basically by candles. The house is basically made of wood, so it's lucky that it didn't burn. In fact, in the case of backward infrastructure, fires often occur in immigrant communities in the Lower East Side. Because of the high living density, the houses are mostly wooden structures, and the tragedy is inevitable. Later, the government required all buildings to install escape ladders on the facade. Today, most apartments on the Lower East Side still have escape ladders. Even in the old house in our school. Maxie Hall has it.

In order to make the apartment look more attractive, the landlord made some decorations in the corridor that entered the door, such as an arch with a mosaic floor and a wooden ceiling. It seems to be out of date now, but people's enthusiasm for managing the living environment at that time can still be felt. The key problem is that the landlord himself lives in this building.
