Immigration Museum

“My son and I really enjoyed visiting the Immigration Museum and taking part in a guided tour. We learned many interesting facts about the building itself and the ground on which it stands. The overall exhibition was very insightful and engaging. As a foreigner who does not live in Australia, I had hoped to learn more about Indigenous Australians as well. This gap was partly bridged through the history of the building and its changing role over time. I was particularly impressed by the exhibition on identity, which is thought-provoking and encourages personal reflection. Note to the museum: It was a bit hard to actually find the guided tour on the website. I think if the option appeared on the ticket booking site maybe more people would consider taking it. I can highly recommend doing so!”

“Am studying Migration Law so it was academic to visit. Staff were friendly. Free entry for me as a student and the storage was ample as was flying to airport. Really enjoyed the first part of the museum in which there were videos of the history and people who migrated to Australia for reasons of war, economic, climate etc. There was an interactive interview video which was great and had a chat with a couple of travelling lawyers from the states. Great experience. Give it a visit if you feel migration has made this and many other nations!”

“For $15 this is great way to spend an hour or 2. I learned a lot about our Australian history and had fun in the Joy exhibition. The huge hall is so beautiful. Not as much to see as the Melbourne museum but still good.”
