What’s happening at the @migration_museum

  • HAPPY HARMONY DAY! Each year, on 21st March, Australia celebrates Harmony Day and our country's cultural diversity. Harmony Day is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians. On Saturday, we will be hosting a jam-packed celebration with Australian Migrant Resource Centre and the Middle Eastern Communities Council of South Australia. Come get involved... #harmonyday
  • A VITAL CONTRIBUTION This week we recognise the lengthy and vital contribution that Muslims have made to South Australia since the early days of the colony. The Adelaide City Mosque is the oldest surviving mosque in the country, and the first to be built in an Australian capital city. Erected in 1888–89, it was designed to meet the spiritual needs of Muslim cameleers and traders coming in from work in South Australia’s northern regions.

  • Archaeology from the Destitute Asylum - this week we worked on some wonderful archaeology objects which were excavated from the Museum’s site in the 1980s by @flindersuniversity. They provide a rare insight into the past lives of some of societies most vulnerable people #southaustralia #sahistory #southaustralianhistory #archaeology #historicalarchaeology #australianarchaeology #historic #heritage
  • MUSEUMS CHANGE LIVES Yesterday we were delighted to welcome David Fleming who presented a workshop on social justice and reminded us that museums really can change lives. This belief is central to our ongoing commitment to welcome migrants, recognise the value of multiculturalism, and celebrate diversity. #MuseumsChangeLives
