The Immigration Museum documents the experience of immigration through personal immigrant stories of leavings, journeys and arrivals, and places emphasis on the social, political and human interest aspects of immigration. The museum makes use of the emotive aspects of memory and individual record to immerse the visitor in the experience of immigration via installations and contemporary displays.
