Migration Museum
The Migration Museum will temporarily close for a period of two years to undertake critical structural, and conservation works from 3 July 2026.
The Migration Museum tells the stories of South Australians and celebrates cultural diversity.
Come explore South Australia’s cultural diversity and unique identity.
The Migration Museum, in the heart of Adelaide’s North Terrace Cultural precinct, tells the stories of our diverse people, promotes respect for all cultures, and provides space for cultural communities to share their cuisine, their arts, their celebrations, their history and their aspirations.
Visitors explore the rapid changes in Australia through 20th and 21st-century migration, as well as gain an understanding and appreciation of how migration continues to change and shape our communities today.
