Chinese Museum Pty Ltd

The Chinese Museum
Located in the heart of Melbourne's Chinatown, the Chinese Museum's five floors include a Chinatown Visitor Centre, a Dragon Gallery displaying three generations of Chinese dragons, the Finding Gold below-ground experience, Australia's 200-year Chinese history told through artefacts as well as the story of recent arrivals from all parts of the Asia Pacific region since the 1950s.

View international and local exhibitions, cultural events and contemporary art shows in the temporary exhibition gallery. Take your kids on a treasure hunt through the Museum or learn about the rich history of the Chinatown on a Heritage Walk.

As a national museum, the Chinese Museum reasearches, conserves and promotes the built, social and economic contribution the Chinese community has made to Australia.
