Immigration Museum Tickets

The Immigration Museum tickets allow you to watch "Forget the stereotypes”, which is yet another thought-provoking movie by the international students of Australia. The central crux of the movie is a story about four former international students, their life experiences, aspirations, challenges, achievements and a lot more.

In collaboration with the creative team of Catherine Simonds and Irene Metter, the movie was specifically created for the Immigration museum, Melbourne. The deeply moving experience of the movie provokes people to understand and analyze the personal stories of the students.

The exhibition displays bold portraits of a young girl by award winning artist - ‘Atong Atem’ created for the immigration museum in a series. The crux of the concept is to explore this surreal world, fantasy, mythology and exploration of identity.

The photographs open a whole door to new perceptions in which we construct images and ideologies internally, which in turn gives a clearer understanding of ourselves and the people around us.

Leaving Home is another set of series trying to explore and showcase the multiple reasons behind why people leave homes and migrate to Australia. This series captures intimate emotions of leaving loved ones behind, the hardships of survival, the painful sensation of separation and a lot more.

This series, which is a permanent collection in the exhibition, makes use of elements like music, moving objects and still images to portray the actual sense of emotions underlying them.

Every other person who migrated to Australia had a history with the customs officer. The tickets for Immigration Museum also let you visit the customs gallery that occupies the Old Customs House, one of the significant old buildings of the 19th century.

They are a gallery filled with articles and stuff collected by the customs officer at the immigration from people across the world. In this permanent exhibition, there are stuff displayed that includes smudged goods, illegal drugs, endangered and contaminated animal products and more.

Another famous exhibition that you get to enter with your Immigration Museum tickets are Immigrant Stories and Timeline which is all about the common people and their mixed emotions. The gallery of Immigrant Stories and Timeline depicts the story of why people left Victoria, their emotions and motives in doing the same. The hardship and fruitfulness in starting everything afresh and more. This gallery covers a large time period and a diverse culture.
