MONTREAL - The City of Montreal has acquired a collection of items from an iconic Chinatown noodle factory and shop that closed down last year.
In 2022, Jean-Philippe Riopel co-founded a non-profit organization called Objets de m茅moire, which dedicated itself to recovering artifacts from Wing Noodles Ltd.聽
The collection, which comprises more than 5,000 items, was donated to the city's Centre des m茅moires montr茅alaises and will be displayed in the coming years as part of various museum projects.
The goal is to preserve the heritage of the iconic site in Montreal鈥檚 Chinatown, which has been described as a pillar of Montreal鈥檚 history of migration, trade and neighbourhood life.
Wing Noodles closed in November 2025 after 128 years of service.聽
The buildings that housed the factory were designated as heritage buildings by the government of Quebec in 2023 and the city in 2024.聽
