About the Museum

The Migration Museum works towards the preservation, understanding and enjoyment of South Australia’s diverse cultures. It is a place to discover the many identities of the people of South Australia through the stories of individuals and communities.

The Museum houses a number of permanent exhibitions on the immigration and settlement history of South Australia and an exhibition on the history of the site. In addition the Museum hosts and develops a number of changing exhibitions and public programs.

Another feature of the Museum is Settlement Square. Here the contribution of the Migration Museum Foundation members is acknowledged. The inscribed pavers have become a popular focus within the museum. Overlooking the square from just inside the museum's gate is the Italian designed monument of The Immigrants.
