As the name suggests, this museum brings you a whiff of China. The Chinese Museum is dedicated to Australians of Chinese descent. It endeavors to conserve their rich cultural heritage.
It was established in 1985 and has since then attracted thousands of visitors who are interested in ancient oriental culture .An exciting range of changing exhibitions, heritage tours and public seminars are some of the ways by which the Museum shares the past, culture, and values of Australia's Chinese community.
It features many interesting exhibits such as bronze urns dug from the Victorian goldfields, carpenters' tools from industrious furniture makers, and images of the debutante balls of the 1930's Young Chinese League. One of the prime attractions of the museum is Dai Loong, The Millennium Dragon, the largest Chinese dragon in the world.
It is a mine of information to school children who learn about an alien culture as well as the invaluable contributions made by the Chinese to Australian history.
