Migration Museum

Migration Museum is an Adelaide CBD museum focused on South Australia’s rich and evolving history, with a particular emphasis on the state’s diverse cultures. Its programme includes permanent, temporary and online exhibitions, along with education programs, talks, tours and other events. The website also features research and collection stories, including writing about objects, places and communities connected to South Australian history.

The museum is at 82 Kintore Avenue, a short walk from Rundle Mall and behind the State Library. That makes it a convenient stop for visitors exploring the city centre, as well as a useful destination for locals interested in history, heritage and community stories. Its programme suits a range of visits, from a solo browse through an exhibition to an organised tour, education activity or event with a group.

Entry is free, although donations are welcomed, and some events and exhibitions may have a charge. Before planning a visit, check the museum’s current status: the website says it will temporarily close from 3 July 2026 for critical structural and conservation works, with the closure described elsewhere as lasting two years and elsewhere as continuing until further notice. The listed regular hours are 10am to 5pm daily, excluding Christmas Day, but these may not apply during the closure period.
