Migration Museum

“Came here on our 1st day ever in S A ; so glad as we were keen to see who first colonised the State in the modern era. Came upon by chance, a free guided tour by David. He must be one of the most fascinating, well - read and interseting guides we have ever encountered. Thank you so much David. p s the plaque for both the Ukrainians and trafficked children brought tears to my eyes. WHEN will we ever learn ?”

“Small but very nice and well prepared museum that displays the stories and belongings of the people who migrated to SA and Australia in general during different periods of time, such as the war. There is a lot to learn, as well as pieces of arts showing something of the home country of many of the nationalities or backgrounds that exist nowadays. I quick and nice stop, highly recommended and the tickets are free!”

“Small museum in historic buildings, telling about colonial settlement and profiling individual immigrants to South Australia. Currently, there is an exhibition, “Face to Face,” of coloured and decorated photos of elderly people: black-and-white photos illustrated by both the elders and the students, who spoke with the subjects about their lives. Outside is an expanse of paving stones bearing the names of immigrants to South Australia. One wall near the entrance has a gathering of plaques in memory of oppressed and exiled peoples from their countries of origin. Free entry.”

“I reckon that Migration Museum is one of the must go tourism spots. Although the size of it is not as big as other museums, the ambient atmosphere and cleanliness is very good. The display items and contents are very nice and informative. Parking at metered street parking spot is convenient.”
