Some interesting displays but not much of local antiquities. More for the kids. Good to tell history of Chinese origins of Ararat.

I went to the museum with my young son, husband and parents and sister in law, who are Singaporean Chinese, for a family outing. Very impressed with the guides, displays with interactive parts and the preservation of Ararat's Chinese history.

Its strange, yet an exciting find as we toured through the gold- field towns of Victoria. This is an authentic recreation of a traditional two-storey Chinese building,set in traditional Chinese gardens. You know its different,as you look up at the ornate roof with its curled up hips,so typical of Chinese design. My favourite adornment..the dragons and other mythical creatures make this place a unique and striking feature of the Ararat skyline. Interesting fact is that the roof tiles were donated by the Chinese government and fixed into place by four specialist tradesmen contracted from the city of Taishan. Inside,all the pieces fall into place. Interactive and static displays attest to the history of the Chinese Miners in a way that makes their influence on the economy,the culture and social development of Australia. We experimented with gold-panning with great success but never-the-less,am not richer in gold nuggets. However, it was great fun as was trying our hand at calligraphy. The artifacts,including costums,dragons and a mining tunnel,exude the scale of hardship,endurance and ingenuity of these dynamos of the gold-fields.

Loved this place. Staff very friendly. Lots to learn. Young children will also enjoy this place, with some activities they can do there. The shop has some lovely gifts

We had a couple of hours to kill while waiting for the art gallery to open, but ended up spendin 3 hours at the richly interactive, aimed at all age groups CHinese HeritageCentre. I have studeied this period of Australan history, but I learned a good deal, as much fromt he charming, knowledgeable and informative guides as from the exhibits and activities themselves. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to understand the history of ethnic minorities in Australia as welll as a broder perspective on our history. What a stirring story the artifacts, photos, video and guides told us! The highlight of our trip to the Wimmera/Goldfields region.

For anyone interested in the history of Ararat and also information about the Chinese people who played such a large part in the Australian gold rush period this is a great place.

Excellent place to visit, very interesting and informative. Staff very helpful and friendly. Gave a great insight into the Chinese history within the Victorian goldfields and the hardships they faced. The roof of the building is a beautiful piece of Chinese architecture.

This was a surprise find with a substantial, attractive and interesting museum located in the regional town of Ararat. It tells the story of Chinese miners and other "Celestials" who travelled from China to find riches to take home to their poor families in China. There are displays, movies, clothes, dioramas and more. The roof itself is an interesting story with tiles donated from a sister city in China and a number of tilers sent out to construct the roof due as they had the expertise. Staff were friendly - thanks Heather for taking the time to provide us with so much information.Recommend a visit.

We found this museum to be a very interesting look at history which was unknown to us. The items on display are in excellent condition. The women at the front desk are passionate about the museum. A very enjoyable and learning hour.

What a great place to visit. My family and I went there for my granddaughters 7 th Birthday. We had a fabulous time looking at the interesting artifacts, reading about the history of the first Chinese in the Ararat district, and participating in the interactive displays; including gold panning. Plenty of gold to be found that day!! The little gift shop has some interesting things at quite cheap prices. Staff are very helpful and friendly.Good parking available although you need to cross a highway to get into the museum( there are traffic barriers for safety)
