Immigration Museum

Visited the Immigration Museum on Swanston Street yesterday, though the place was overrun by what seemed like hundreds of primary school kids on an excursion and there wasn't anywhere near enough time to absorb everything besides (indeed, we didn't make it beyond the permanent collection, and even then only saw parts of it). I was quite favourably impressed by what I saw (which included the 20 metre-odd replica ship through which we were able to walk - very nice) - it seems as if a real effort has been made to make the museum as engaging, interactive and relevant as possible. Spent a bit of time in the room documenting current immigration policy (from about the 1970s onwards), which of course was interesting, but I think that a fuller review of the museum will have to await my next, more prolonged visit.
