Immigration Museum Guided Highlights Tour

  • Tour
  • Attractions

Explore one of Melbourne’s most beautiful historic buildings and be moved by the informative and deeply personal displays that make Immigration Museum a must-visit destination for visitors and locals alike.

On this tour, join your knowledgeable museum guide as you explore the fascinating history of Customs House, one of Victoria’s most important 19th century heritage buildings.

Traverse deeply personal and often emotional displays that explore the many reasons people set out from their homelands, and what met them as they arrived in Melbourne at various points in time.
