Lonely Planet review

The Immigration Museum offers a 'moving' account of immigration that uses multimedia to convey stories, both historical and modern. Housed in the old Customs House (1858-70), the restored building alone is worth the visit; its most important space, the Long Room, is a magnificent piece of Renaissance revival architecture. The 2nd-floor galleries host a range of excellent temporary exhibitions exploring social and cultural issues, such as various multiethnic rituals surrounding death or preparing food.
