If you're new to South Australia or Adelaide and curious to know about the history of migrants and their origin, then this place is absolutely worth it for you. It will take you through a journey of time of how, when and what were the reasons immigrants came to Australia. It will also enlighten you about culture and changes that occurred from geographical and traditional perspectives. Worth the visit and its free of cost. Place will close at sharp 5 pm

We decided to visit the Migration Museum, as my friends hadn't been there & I hadn't been there for a few years. Sigh, lets just say I was hugely disappointed & so were my friends. It's changed & not for the better. My friends & I wondered what a couple if the displays had to do with migration. The things they did have that were to do with migration was excellent, but they could have more. Won't be going there again.

Little lovely museum! We went first because they hosted an animation workshop then we did the LEGO trail and had a lot fun.

Free admission. I really liked the small size of the museum. I'm the kind of person that reads all the historical information so I'm happy that everything was concise and essential. I spent around 1.5h and I think that it's hard to spend more time there. For its size it's very well made, maintained, and accurate. Go learn about how Adelaide came to be!

A super tiny museum sharing the stories of migration to South Australia from all parts of the world. I was greeted by a very welcoming gentleman and he briefly described the purpose of the museum. It seemed like more content could be created... I would like to draw your attention to the walls right outside the museum as well.... where the wishes of many groups of people who made South Australia home has to share. Many left their home in sorrow to find solace here... I am glad they found their way in a new place and that South Australia welcomes them with open arms. May the chance collaboration of new member contributed to the multi cultural society here.

Interesting, but frankly, it would be very great to have more historical, museum-suitable, content rather than emotional memorabilia.

The Migration Museum is a great site to visit in Adelaide, being the only of its kind I’ve personally seen! Here you’ll see exhibitions of a variety of cases and histories about migration through Australia and South Australia. At the time of me visiting, this included two series of artworks telling stories of the Aboriginal people and the impact of European colonisation, some series of older maps of the world and such, then going into modern history such as the White Australia Policy, refugee crisis, etc. Overall a lovely place to visit to learn about some aspects of migration history here. I say “some” because while the museum does have a variety of cases of migration, most of it appears to focus onto the negative parts (White Australia Policy, refugees, colonisation, etc) which is good to know and learn, but it might be disappointing if you were expecting more of the positive parts.

Interesting and informative displays and media that are housed in some of Adelaide's beautiful and historic buildings. Well worth the visit to understand Australia's important historical path and where we might be headed. Thankyou .

We decided to visit on a whim. To be honest, I was a little disappointed but still glad we attended. The was 3 main galleries and I think we had seen them all within an hour.

This museum is free and you can make a donation. We visit every two years because the displays change. It is a very emotional visit and it shows the incredible diversity of the Australian population. There is plenty to keep the kids amused and adults will cry at some of the exhibits. As South Australians we are and should be proud of this space. Well done 10/10

Visited the migration museum on 27 April 22. Love how the exhibit talks about the history of migration to Australia and to some extent Adelaide. My favorite bit was the recent coverage of migrants experiences from 2000s onwards and how they felt about certain events. Really authentic interviews on how migrants felt welcomed in Aussie. Remember to visit the visitor information for a map on how to navigate the area. Unfortunately, they were renovating some of the exhibits during my visit.

The exhibitions have been varied. Admission is free, donations are welcome.

Great place to visit if you're interested in history. It gives you some great insights into SAs history when it was colonised. It's free but they love and need donations, so I suggest making a $5 pp donation.

Excellent displays, a bit of an eye opener, especially with regards to the 'white Australia policy'. Interesting to read that non English were considered 'aliens' right up to 1984. So I would have been considered an 'alien' having emigrated wirh the family from France in the 70's. Some of the more current displays need updating as their facts & figures are no longer accurate.

Really interesting museum about migration. I was curious about the history of South Australia migration and now I have got all the answers to my questions. The temporary exhibition about arabic culture was amazing too. Thanks

Museum is providing some great information about the history of migration to SA. It is great place to go if interested in how things were like 100 years ago.

I did a tour with my class and it was brilliant. Highly recommended.

Worth a visit. Some interesting things in there.

It used to be better years ago.

The Migration Museum is Australia‘s oldest museum for immigration promoting the cultural diversity of SA and supporting its understanding. It showcases the history of the people in South Australia and impresses with its beautiful collection and easy approach to the topic. Entrance is free, donations are welcome.

Interesting, informative

Good place to check out SA migration history. Fun interactive exhibitions.

It should not be called an immigration museum. The contents are a bit messy, except that Australia, as an immigrant country, is inclusive of the people of the world.

Very informative tour and lots to see

I had a big expectation, but turned out to be a low-level, very depressive, far from logical exhibition, with bad design (you can't read them properly,plus it's stuck in the 70s design). It's rather a "migration" museum, because immigration museum should represent, how the many different nations' cultures affect and make richer, diverse and complex the Australian culture, not only when and where they were coming from. I feel sorry about it, as it should be such an important museum, where people of all ages and nations can find excellent, mindblowing inspirations. But not. It's time to 'immigrate' a new design, management, concept, and 21st century design.

A very informative museum, would love to go on my own one day! However, taking young kids (7 and under) was tricky. There’s not a lot they can do to interact - found them bored very quickly. Would definitely say this is more suited for teenagers and adults.

Considering it’s a free museum, one can’t complain. I would have loved more like ships logs and family history.

Really interesting....filled in the gaps from what we saw at the South Australian Museum. Very informative signage, allow plenty of time. The exhibition of Afghani clothing and culture is excellent.

This museum is very well done and really helped me understand. It is free. Close to the Australia Museum, Art Gallery and State Library and Botanical Gardens

A great museum to discover the history and culture of almost all Australians. There are three different displays within the museum and only one of the displays is permanent. The museum also has items which are part of the Australian Commonwealth Government.

Very friendly staff, very informative place

Very interesting place worth a visit.

It was an amazing experience. I went there awhile ago to see the Arabic Culture special exhibition. The entrance is free. Definitely worth going.

A very special place for history. A place of gratitude and communion amongst first Australians and all the migrants thereafter!

Interesting facts about Australia and the migration to this country. Its free and taking donations which you can pay by card

I haven't been in a while. What I did get to look at was very interesting. Will come back and look at the rest of the museum another day! 🙂

Amazing and educational.well worth the Visit

A really interesting visit. Exhibits were well presented and informative. Spent much longer there than anticipated. Free entry but a voluntary donation can be made.

Nice museum with interesting displays. The courtyard area is very nice and it's free admission.

A very poor effort. Don’t bother.

(Translated by Google) It is not very big but it is interesting and free (they accept donations). A good time to learn about immigration in SA. (Original) No es muy grande pero es interesante y gratuito (aceptan donaciones). Un buen rato para aprender sobre la inmigración en SA.

Great South Australian historical displays

Great displays

It was a very nice experience.

The South Australia Migration Museum is such a great place to visit and learn about the history and see different kinds of arts and story in each block of the building. A wonderful place to bring kids to see fake animals (but they looked like real ones), so then they know what they called for came from in the world. We had experienced and fun there. THANKS MUSEUM

Very interesting

Fantastic

Was good to hear some of our history. Some displays not working & was lacking a tour guide or at least a self guided tour map. May have been limited by covid.

Great Information about SA unique experience and it's clear that the immigration policies we're tough on many races. I'm glad that you're very clear about what happened to the Aboriginals past and present.

What a gem of a place. I am embarrassed to say that I had never been to this museum. Well worth the visit. Entrance fee is a donation.

Great museum, I learned so much of the Australian migration history. Make sure to visit it during the weekend and get one of the free guided tour. Thanks for a wonderful visit!!

Definitely worth the stop. Truthful telling of the settlement of OZ and the story of the aboringal people's. Melbourne is the second or third largest greek city after Athens.

Nice free museum to spend an hour or two. Panels are a little dated but they run on donations, so do keep up the good work!

Amazing meusum to learn history of Australia and how did migration happen from rest of the country to Australia. History lovers should visit it definitely

Good and needed to show case how most of immigration has happened.

Fantastic place with some hard hitting facts. Told things as they are and was a refreshing change. Great friendly staff, would love to bring more students here again.

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.

Excellent display and informative

Really nice small museum to get a good indie to early and late migration

Really good information

Lots of exhibits,Lots to learn

The staff were easy going and happy to help my children with a fun activity

Very well done

Interesting pleasant place to spend an hour.

Touching place.

Lots of facts I never came across before.

Wonderful experience traveling back in time.

Great for kids to learn about the nation's history

A great place to visit to look at glance of Australian history

Absolutely worth a visit.

Interesting information on Australia migration history, interactive section also good for children; nice but also sad courtyard. Real stories are presented

An Amazing place, fascinating storys

Small but nice and free.

Great opening to the exhibition based on UK ( mostly English ) immigration to Australia. The rare roast beef & horseradish cream served on a Yorkshire pudding was a perfect complement to the stories.

(Translated by Google) Excellent, I recommend this place 👍 (Original) Excellent, je recommande ce lieu 👍
