The Museum of Chinese in Australia (MOCA) project will transform an existing heritage library into a vibrant museum, celebrating the contributions of Chinese-born Australians. This refurbishment honors the past, unites people in the present, and inspires future generations.
MOCA’s design centers on the themes of past, present, and future, seamlessly integrated across the museum’s three levels. The space will celebrate historical achievements and stories while fostering a sense of community today. By creating an environment that encourages reflection and inspiration, MOCA will motivate visitors to contribute positively to the future.
The refurbishment will celebrate diversity by highlighting the shared values and contributions of Chinese-born Australians, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity. MOCA will serve as a bridge, connecting various generations of the Chinese community in Australia, from newly arrived individuals to those who have been here for generations.
MOCA embodies a vision that transcends ethnic labels, focusing instead on the collective contributions of diverse communities. It provides a platform for stories that highlight common goals and shared experiences, emphasizing unity over division.
