08.01.2022 Tonight, our elders will be celebrating the Hungry Ghost Festival. A traditional Festival that, unfortunately, is starting to be lost amongst future generations here in Darwin. The link below is an article written last year by the ABC explaining the Hungry Ghost Festival in Darwin. https://www.abc.net.au//hungry-ghost-festival-and/11413618

07.01.2022 The decision has been taken to defer the 2020 opening of the NT Chinese Museum to 1 April 2020 subject to ongoing review. This decision follows a review pertaining to small museums around the country and the precautionary measures necessary in face of the Covid-19 situation. These measures will place additional workload on our small volunteer team, many of whom are seniors, during what is normally a slow month anyway. We look forward to opening for the 2020 tourism season as ...soon as possible. For all enquiries relating to the museum please email: [email protected]

07.01.2022 Happy Dragon Boat Festival! The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional holiday originating in China that occurs on the 5th day of the 5th month of the traditional Chinese calendar and commemorates the life and death of the famous Chinese scholar, Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was one of the greatest poets of ancient China. He eventually drowned himself in a river and the famous Dragon Boat Festival originated from the legend of people racing out and paddling on boats to search for the poet...’s body. Today, the Dragon Boat Festival is a celebration where many eat rice dumplings (Zong Zi / ) and race dragon boats. The Zong Zi is a glutinous rice ball with a filling and wrapped in triangle or rectangle shapes in bamboo or reed leaves, and tied with soaked stalks or colourful silky cords. The fillings can be egg, beans, dates, fruits, sweet potato, walnuts, mushrooms, meat, or a combination of them. The Zong Zi relates to the legend of Qu Yuan as it is said that lumps of rice were thrown into the river to stop fish from eating his drowned body.
