Located in the heart of Melbourne’s Chinatown, the Chinese Museum’s five floors showcase the heritage and culture of Australia’s Chinese community. Our purpose is to operate a museum, to promote and preserve Chinese Culture and history; especially of Australian-Chinese history in Australia.
The Museum has three permanent exhibitions:
Finding Gold
Dragon Gallery
Chinese Australian History
Special Exhibition
In the Temporary Exhibition Gallery (Level 1), the Museum rotates exhibitions every three to four months. Occasionally, we invite international and local artists to present exhibitions, cultural events and contemporary art shows in the space.
