"As both Adelaide and indeed Australia’s history has been so defined by the various waves of immigrants that arrived in the country, the Migration Museum is the perfect place to head to if you want to understand more about their past. Opened in 1986, its extensive collection takes you on a fascinating journey through the ages, with artifacts, photos, and stories explaining how the state was settled. Proudly showcasing Adelaide’s multiculturalism and promoting respect and tolerance for different cultures, peoples, and languages, the museum runs lots of educational programs and is just as popular with locals as it is with tourists."

"Housed in an early colonial bluestone building that was a destitute asylum from 1850–1918 and before that, a school for Aboriginal children, Adelaide’s Migration Museum was opened in 1986 as it the oldest of its kind in the country.

"Around the corner from the South Australian Museum is the Migration Museum. Australia is such a young country and we have been very much moulded by immigration, often in waves from various cultures. This museum takes a look at everything from the First Fleet to immigrants of today."

"Located in a fabulous old building that dates right back to colonial times, the State Library of South Australia will delight book lovers and history aficionados with its stunning, book-filled interior. As it is the largest public research library in the whole of South Australia, it hosts a massive collection of books, photographs, sound and video recordings on every topic imaginable. While the French Renaissance style Mortlock Wing of the library looks gorgeous from the outside, its interior is the real show stopper; wrought-iron balconies lie before rows upon rows of softly illuminated books."

"A popular spot for fashion, wedding and graduation shoots, the Mortlock Wing looks like something straight out of a palace. Look out over the balcony and see multiple levels of walls lined with books. Dark wood fixings and a wrought iron barrier add to the wings historic feel."

"The State Library is the information heart of South Australia, located in the North Terrace Cultural Precinct and open seven days a week (excluding public. Corner North Terrace and Kintore Avenue, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Galleries, Museums and Collections"
