Immigration Museum

The Immigration Museum is a museum dedicated to the history of immigration in Australia. It is housed at the Old Customs House on Flinders Street in Melbourne, Victoria. Fawkner's Hotel, erected in 1835 by John Pascoe Fawkner, one of Melbourne's founders, stands on the site of one of the city's original buildings. The Long Room, the museum's most important area, is a famous example of Renaissance Revival architecture.

The museum was established in 1998 as a part of Museums Victoria, which manages the state's cultural and scientific holdings. Melbourne Museum (containing the Royal Exhibition Building) and Scienceworks Museum is its sibling museums. The museum presents numerous traveling exhibitions and offers educational activities in addition to its work recording immigrant history. The museum's courtyard is used to hold community events that include cuisine, music, and culture. The Immigration Discovery Centre, where individuals may trace their ancestors, and the Tribute Garden, which honors immigrants from more than 90 nations, are also part of it.
