The Immigration Museum

 

Victoria's early immigrants came to a land of abundance that had been nurtured by Aboriginal people for thousands of years.

For two centuries, newcomers have brought their skills and culture. They have adapted to what they found, and introduced new ways.

Aboriginal people have continued to maintain and adapt their traditions.

Our everyday world is the result of these countless journeys.
