Why it's worth checking out
The Immigration Museum sits on Flinders Street in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, housed in the grand heritage Old Customs House. Part of Museums Victoria, it tells the rich, moving stories of the people who have migrated to Australia over the centuries — through engaging, personal exhibitions that explore the journeys, experiences and contributions of migrants from around the world.
The appeal is that combination of powerful, personal storytelling and a beautiful heritage setting: the exhibitions bring to life the diverse and often moving stories of immigration to Australia, in the gorgeous surrounds of the historic Customs House. It's a fascinating, thought-provoking and culturally rich day out for anyone interested in history, identity and the stories that shaped the nation.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 3,400 reviews, it's clearly valued by its visitors. The exhibitions, opening hours, admission and any events vary with the program, so it's worth checking current details before you go — particularly to see what's on — while looking forward to exploring the moving immigration stories and the heritage building at the Immigration Museum.
