The Immigration Museum tells the stories of immigrants who have come to Victoria from all around the world and how they have helped to shape the state's social, cultural and economic fabric. The museum is located in the Old Customs House, a historic building in the heart of Melbourne's CBD.
The museum features a range of permanent and temporary exhibitions that explore the experiences of immigrants to Victoria, from the early days of European settlement to the present day. The exhibitions include personal stories, artifacts, photographs, and interactive displays that help to bring the history of immigration to life.
Some of the key features of the museum include the permanent exhibition, "Journeys", which explores the experiences of immigrants to Victoria from the 1800s to the present day, the "Passages" exhibition which tells the stories of people who have come to Victoria as refugees, and the "Identity" exhibition which explores the ways in which people express their identity and belonging through their culture, religion, and traditions.
The Immigration Museum also offers a range of education programs and resources for schools and community groups, as well as a program of public events and activities. It's a great place to visit for anyone interested in the history and diversity of Victoria, and the role that immigrants have played in shaping the state's identity and culture.
