The Museum of Chinese in Australia (MOCA) is a cultural institution dedicated to showcasing the stories and contributions of Chinese Australians. More than just a museum, MOCA serves as a space where past, present, and future converge to celebrate diversity and foster understanding. Founded in the Year of the Dragon, MOCA is a hub for cultural exchange and exploration, offering a unique perspective on the Chinese Australian experience.
MOCA’s mission is to tell the stories of generations of Chinese Australians through research, preservation, and exchange. With a focus on inclusivity and community engagement, MOCA is constantly evolving to ensure that the experiences of Chinese Australians are represented within the broader national discourse. Led by a dedicated team including CEO Tony Stephens and a committed board, MOCA is committed to upholding its purpose and serving as a bridge for deeper connections and understanding.
Situated in the heart of Sydney’s bustling Chinatown, MOCA is deeply embedded in the community it serves. From its humble beginnings as a conversation among passionate individuals, MOCA has grown into the only museum in New South Wales dedicated to Chinese Australian stories. With a rich history and a vision for the future, MOCA invites visitors to explore, learn, and contribute to the ongoing narrative of Chinese Australians in Australia.
