This museum has a good location, right in the heart of China town. Also, it wasn’t crowded at all, although my partner and I picked a weekend day. The museum has plenty of interesting stories that will help you learn about the Chinese community in Melbourne. I totally recommend this museum, you can’t find online any of the information and interviews they display in the museum. We spent here almost three hours, so make sure you take enough time to see everything.

Lots of great displays - the gold mining exhibit is fantastic as is the dragon. Spent a couple of hours here and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Although small this Museum is displayed well and very interesting. I am fascinated with the history of Quong Tart and was very surprised to see a display about him. Spread over three levels with a lift to take you to the top floor it was fascinating with many lovely displays. The dragon is amazing and very intricately decorated with an enormous head that needs 8 strong men to carry it. You are able to walk down the ramp next to the dragon which then takes you into a display of a working mine with different rooms showing how they lived. It has been done extremely well. Well worth a visit.
