context_page_description: The Oroville Chinese Temple is a Chinese folk religious temple built in 1863 in Oroville, California. The temple is now owned by the City of Oroville and open to the public as a museum, and it also continues to be used occasionally for worship.
context_section_description: This Display Hall, also dedicated in 1968, was built to present artifacts that were given to the Chinese Temple.  Artifacts housed here include Chinese costumes, furniture, and other items depicting the daily life of the Chinese.  
  Also housed in the room are tapestries and decorative items.  One specific item of interest is a pair of shoes that were formerly worn by a woman with bound feet.  This room also has a collection of large paper mache puppets which were used by the Chinese in their theater when actors where unavailable to perform.  These puppets were originally brought to the Oroville by puppeteers who emigrated from China but were left behind when many returned to their home country.
