Located in Melbourne's Chinatown, off Little Bourke Street, the Chinese Museum is a living part of Melbourne's modern Chinatown. The Chinese Museum documents, preserves and displays the history of Chinese immigration to Australia.

An exciting range of changing exhibitions and heritage tours are used to illustrate the past, culture and values of Australia's Chinese community.

The Museum is home to Dai Loong and the Millennium Dragon, the largest Chinese processional dragon in the world.
