The Golden Dragon Museum (Chinese: 金龙博物馆) is situated in the city of Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. The museum is dedicated to the culture and history of Chinese Australians, particularly in the region. Built on the historical site of one of Bendigo's Chinatowns, the museum's precinct also includes Chinese Gardens and a temple to Kuan Yin. Through the museum accreditation program, it was the first accredited museum in Victoria. The Golden Dragon Museum opened in 1991. The site of the museum is the area of one of Bendigo's Chinatowns. The Bridge Street Chinatown was the centre for Chinese activity in the region from the late 19th century to 1964. The old buildings of Chinatown were bulldozed by the city council to make room for a car park. In the 1980s, Russell Jack pushed forward his vision for a Chinese museum in the area. Once the funding was acquired, Harry Charalambous was chosen as the architect. His design incorporated Chinese symbolism and architecture with distinctly Australian materials such as corrugated iron and red brick reflecting the history of the Chinese of Bendigo.
