We literally had this as #2 thing to do in Adelaide. We had read the Our Australian Girl series and my 2 daughters and I were excited to see and hear more. Oh my gosh it was such a let down! Kids so not considered in the layout and display, only 1 of the interactive items worked although it would put most people to sleep. An attempt with a booklet for kids was cute but the layout is too boring to engage most people... please Migration Museum, close down for 6 months, get in someone great and start again. We need to feel what migration was like not just look at some old artefacts.
Free admission and interesting exhibition. Definitely visit
The migration museum does a really good job at showing the history of where immigrants have come from during different periods of time, how our policies have changed towards immigrants over the years, and how the cultures brought into Australia influenced our nation to make it the multicultural society it is today.Great effort was made to set this museum up, and the entry fee is small. Toilet facilities are available.
This a very insightful point of attraction for people from all walks of life as the exhibits detail many reasons for immigration.The souvenirs section touches on objects that incite feelings of nostalgia while the latter part of the museum goes through the period of colonisation and beyond.I also thoroughly enjoyed the outer building that goes through the history of the buildings when they used to be lying in homes for women young and old. Children will love the interactive displays while adults immerse themselves in this history of migration both locally and domestically.
Must visit. If you are interested in history the connection between the early immigrants and especially SA history is very interesting. I may say the exibits are outstanding!
