Opened in 1998, the Immigration Museum is filled with the real stories of people who have journeyed from all over the world to make Australia their home.

Over two floors of exhibition galleries, the museum explores why people have migrated to ³Ô¹ÏÍø, how they got here, what they found, and the mark they made on the city.

The museum also explores the concept of identity and what it means to belong and not belong in Australia.

The museum is housed in the grand Customs House building, which originally looked out onto ships tied up at the adjacent Queen's Wharf. The impressive former Long Room is now the museum's central space, featuring giant Ionic colonnades.

The Immigration Museum is open daily except Good Friday and Christmas Day.
