What’s happening at the @migration_museum

  • COMING SOON... Greetings from…, an exhibition at the Migration Museum, celebrates the power of souvenirs, from the poignant to the marvellously kitsch and eccentric. Souvenirs are often seen as insignificant trinkets, yet they play an important role in memory-making, how we see ourselves, and our relationships with people and places. Come along and see treasured keepsakes that migrants have brought with them across the world, alongside familiar mementos of holidays, love tokens and artworks that turn the idea of a souvenir on its head. You can also jump inside a selfie snow dome and create your own digital postcards to send to your friends. Exhibition opens: 12th November 2018 #Greetingsfrom #thepowerofsouvenirs #souvenirs #migrationmuseum
  • This month the Migration Museum is an official drop-off point for the @essentials4womensa collection drive. Please drop in any sanitary items, new underwear or full-sized toiletries to help homeless women in South Australia 🤗
  • Today our education team are working with our expert volunteers to identify underwear garments for an upcoming program called ‘When Smalls Were Large’. See our story for more behind-the-scenes insights. Teachers are welcome to contact our friendly team to book their class for a visit #migrationmuseum #underwear #history #historicalgarments #fashionhistory #fashionhistorian #forschools #education #educational
  • Sometimes the back is just as interesting as the front... This portrait of Ralph Goodwin was recently donated to the museum. On the reverse we discovered a very different sort of portrait! Ralph served with the 13th Australian Field Regiment in Papua New Guinea during WWII, where he was a gunner and signal operator. State History Collection, HT2018.1017
