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.
