"As both Adelaide and indeed Australia’s history has been so defined by the various waves of immigrants that arrived in the country, the Migration Museum is the perfect place to head to if you want to understand more about their past. Opened in 1986, its extensive collection takes you on a fascinating journey through the ages, with artifacts, photos, and stories explaining how the state was settled. Proudly showcasing Adelaide’s multiculturalism and promoting respect and tolerance for different cultures, peoples, and languages, the museum runs lots of educational programs and is just as popular with locals as it is with tourists."
