The entrance of the Migration Museum

The Migration Museum

The Migration Museum is only a short stroll from Rundle Mall, and is a place to discover the many identities of the people of South Australia through the stories of individuals and communities.

When the Migration Museum first opened in 1986 it was a world-first, with similar museums focused on migration now opening around the world.

The Museum's team research, collect and share the state's history through exhibitions, education programs, and community and digital engagement perfect for curious minds of all ages.

A juxtaposition of rustic and urban industrial styling, Wurst and Stein is an underground oasis to escape the hustle and bustle of Grenfell Street. Enjoy brews from around the world, a menu that screams "flavour" or host your next private party.
