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.

Great location. Having a couple of the old buildings around is amazing. A lot of good information and my only wish was that it was a little larger because I enjoyed the displays of the personal items and family stories. Free Entry, but you can make a donation to help support them.

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.

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!

Nice experience and tells the stories of many of the migration events over the history of Australia. It makes you appreciate the country we have and give you pride in its history for both the tall tales and but also doesn't shy from exposing some of the more sensitive and haunting elements that built us. Would recommend popping into the free venue. Fairly accessible through the Adelaide public transport system and city tram lines

Highly recommend. A wonderful museum in Adelaide to learn about the heritage and cultural diversity of South Australia. The exhibits are great and our daughters even received an activity to immerse them. We especially loved the Haza exhibit - not often you can engage with the display but this one made you think and reflect by doing so. There is no cost to enter, but donation is appreciated.

You have to visit, if you have a progressive bone in your body. It will restore your faith in humanity. Take a red neck / gammon with you and it will change them.
