Immigration Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 14:21:34

The Immigration Museum uses personal and community voices, images and memorabilia to tell the many stories of Australian immigration. Symbolically housed in the old Customs House, the restored building alone is worth the visit: the Long Room is a magnificent piece of Renaissance revival architecture.

After exiting the museum, head across the river via Sandridge Bridge to check out the steel Travellers sculptures , which depict the story of arrival that belongs to many Melburnians; Gayip, the only sculpture to sit on land rather than on the bridge, represents Indigeneous Australians from the area.
