Good information on the Chinese culture. Probably will take 30 mins to go through everything. Friendly receptionist, just buy tickets when you get there.
The Museum of Chinese Australian History is a great educational place to learn about Chinese Australian history. There is an interesting exhibition that will teach you about Chinese migration to Australia during the times of the Gold Rush. Throughout the museum, there are some fascinating and interesting pieces of art and overall, the museum is a great place to visit and learn about the history of Chinese Australian people and culture.
We came from behind chinatown so it was through a very sketchy looking alleyway. Luckily, the only time we stumbled was into this beaut of a museum. Spent a good amount of time looking at all the pieces exhibited.
Lady at the front desk was super lovely and helpful. She even helped me spend over $100 in the little gift shop! I wonder how that even happened. Would gladly spend there again (just the entry fee and my time though).

Learn about the Amazing discovery of chinese gold rush in the 1850's. This museum displays a reproduction of the life at gold rush period's and how it was at that time.※The first Chinese arrived in 1830's (free settler and under contract as labourers) But in 1850's gold Nagget discoveries changed everything.
An ideal place for all ages. Very educational, interactive and overall extremely enjoyable. Definitely recommended for tourists and residents alike in Melbourne.
Well worth the $12.50 entry fee. Staff are friendly and very informative. Great displays. Spent a couple of hours here looking around before heading to a show at the Comedy Theatre
I can’t recommend enough this museum for a visit . Not only can you learn about Chinese and Australian Chinese history, view some pretty amazing artifacts, experience a boat trip that was undertaken by people in their quest to find gold and become rich, you will also be greeted by the most friendly staff members. I totally loved my experience today and will definitely explore further Chinese history and culture.
