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.

The Migration Museum is a social history museum located in Adelaide, South Australia. It is one of the three museums operated by the History Trust of South Australia. It deals with the immigration and settlement history of South Australia, and maintains both a permanent and a rotating collection of works. Founded as an initiative of the State government in 1983, and with the museum opening on 23 November 1986, the Migration Museum in Adelaide is the oldest museum of its kind in Australia. The museum aims to promote cultural diversity and multiculturalism, which they define as including aspects of ethnicity, class, gender, age and region. The site is located on Kintore Avenue between the State Library of South Australia, the South Australian Museum and the University of Adelaide, in a complex of early colonial bluestone buildings set around a courtyard, including the city's former destitute asylum (from 1850–1918). Before this, the site was the location of the "Native School", which aimed to educate aboriginal children. The Migration Museum has a full program of activities including education programs for school groups, public events and family friendly fun.
Great stories but needs an update or review. Saw more or less same some t years ago and whilst history doesn't change, renewal is always good. Would recommend to visitors viewing this for the first time as good info. Very noisy floorboards ......
Perhaps the best tap water I've ever had. I like that they glamorise immigration as well. I left feeling like Mr. Fabulous the Glamorous. Next time somebody makes a racism joke at me I will just clap three times and scream 'MIGRATION MUSEUM'. It's an Engineering joke.
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 good and informative museum, albeit small. A must for every local history buffs and a fantastic place to take the kids, to teach them about the settlement of South Australia
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!
5* I love this place so much. Clean and tidy. Moreover, friendly staff.
