ONE MILLION STORIES: CHINESE AUSTRALIANS 200 YEARS

2018 was the 200^th anniversary since the first Chinese person migrated to Australia. The Chinese Museum has established the first nationwide history of the 200 year journey from the first migrant until today. ONE MILLION STORIES Exhibition showcases the many and varied interesting journeys of individuals, families and community groups that have settled, integrated and help form Australian Society as we see it today.

One Million Stories Exhibition aims to:

Heighten the understanding of the diverse background and characteristics of Chinese Australians past and present.
explore the evolution of a changing cultural identity.
perpetuate a lineage of heritage and culture for contemporary Chinese Australians.
create an inclusive national story from all parts of Australia by widely seeking contributions from people, organisations and regions to recognise the diverse histories and communities across Australia.

The exhibition is scheduled to travel around Australia and China during 2020 to 2022.

There are opportunities to become one of the One Million Stories too!
