This article examines the ways that mainstream museums in New South Wales and Victoria have incorporated Chinese Australian history into their displays from the 1980s onwards. Using archival research and interviews conducted at Museums Victoria, the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences and Museum of the Riverina, I explore the ways that these museums have chosen to frame Chinese Australian history and the ways that Chinese Australians sought to shape the exhibits and collections that represent them. I then reflect on the approaches of two recent exhibitions at the Museum of Sydney and the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka.

我们在讲谁的故事？新南威尔士州和维多利亚博物馆的澳大利亚华人历史

本文探讨了新南威尔士州和维多利亚州的主流博物馆从 1980 年代起将澳大利亚华人历史纳入其展览的方式。通过在维多利亚博物馆、应用艺术与科学博物馆和里弗瑞纳博物馆进行的档案研究和采访，我探索了这些博物馆选择构建澳大利亚华人历史的方式以及澳大利亚华人试图塑造展品和收藏品的方式代表他们。然后，我反思了最近在悉尼博物馆和尤里卡澳大利亚民主博物馆举办的两个展览的方法。
