The exhibits at Museo Italiano document the stories and experiences of Italian migrants to Australia and the culture they created here, reflecting their strong regional affiliations.

With an extensive collection of historic records and photographs, books, and publications, the museum explores the history of Italian migration, interactions between the Italian and non-Italian community, and the nature of contemporary Italian-Australian identity.

Museo Italiano is operated by the Italian Historical Society.

The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.

We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection the Wurundjeri, Bunurong, Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wadawurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin have to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We are committed to our reconciliation journey, because at its heart, reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples, for the benefit of all Victorians.
