Chinese Museum, Museum of Chinese heritage in Melbourne, Australia.
The Museum of Chinese Australian History spans five floors, containing over 8,000 artifacts that document the Chinese presence in Australia since 1850.
The building at 22 Cohen Place was constructed in 1890 by the Cohen Brothers as a furniture warehouse before becoming storage for theater costumes.
The museum presents exhibitions, artifacts, and documents that demonstrate the lasting influence of Chinese communities across two centuries in Australian society.
The museum functions as the Chinatown Visitor Centre, offering guided tours and educational programs about Chinese Australian heritage throughout the week.
The Dragon Gallery contains Dai Loong, which holds the distinction of being the largest processional Chinese dragon in the world.
