Chinese Museum, Northern Territory

The NT Chinese Museum is charged with delivering on the Chung Wah Society’s objective to preserve and promote the Chinese history of the Northern Territory. The Museum presents a story of grit and determination and the contribution of the Chinese people to the development of the Northern Territory. A particular focus is the impact of World War II: the bombing of Darwin, the fate of China Town and the contribution by the Darwin Chinese people in their service to Australia. A primary role of the Museum is to maintain and develop the Family Tree Project relating to those Chinese families whose entry to Australia was through the Northern Territory.
