Guangdong Overseas Chinese Museum explores the history of overseas Chinese from the province and the culture of their home communities.

Objects, documents, images and reconstructed spaces give historical stories a concrete setting. Together they reveal particular strands of Guangzhou's trading, social, artistic, technological or urban development.

Guangdong Overseas Chinese Museum offers a window onto local culture in Dongshankou / Huanshi East. Pairing it with nearby historic streets, memorials or museums helps connect individual exhibits with the city's wider history.
