Immigration Museum (Museums Victoria)

Unclaimed

I did a guided tour of the museum. Expected to be part of a group but it was just me! Shaun gave great insight into the building's history and we chatted for ages about our immigrant families. The museum is a beautiful space and I can't wait to visit again soon.

This is such a great museum have been here twice now and it’s so good you really need a while to really read everything but then last visit was only there for an hour and was happy with it too. Last time we went they had a big boat you could walk into which is a shame that’s not there anymore! But it’s still great. There’s 3 floors so it can take up a lot of an afternoon to explore.

Today we visited the Notre Dame exhibit about the fire ? which almost destroyed this wonderful place. Seeing it 15 years ago and walking through it to then seeing it in flames. Shocking. But the amount of work gone into it. More amazing. What better way to see it from its very start to now being re built. Such an informative experience and so well thought out and having the experience viewing many different scenes through its history of construction to the work to re build. All on an ipad. History buffs will absolutely love it for sure. Everyone else, love it. It truly is a unique experience.

It was a very WOW, Fun, 100% amazing and very interactive and memorable and incredibly informative experience for me . As I am the immigrant from HK since 1998. I totally can related to what exhibits at the moment and it’s very interesting and it just blow my mind thank you #immigration #museum #victoria #melbourne #aUS . Bang on Victorian politicians or government ministers…etc. well spent on funding for something like that ?❤️??. Okay I better stop talking too much on Google official platform here as my photos can tell a million words…. And yes I am Asian and my English may not very Aussie . lol

Had an amazing experience here visiting the Joy exhibition! Love that entry is free with a concession card and very reasonably priced without. Will definitely visit again?
