Migration Museum — Attraction in London

It is the best museum in the entire city because it is not like any other museum in the city.

Please make the effort to head to the end of the DLR and walk through Lewisham Shopping Centre, no matter who you are or where you’ve come from.

It fully embraces the bit of the past that people genuinely find enthralling - the stories in history.

It is one of if not the most immersive museums I’ve ever stepped foot in and that coupled with the incredibly personal stories of real people, it makes for an incredibly powerful and deeply inspiring visit.

You get the sense of hundreds of voices speaking about their worlds instead of a sole curator’s choice cuts from the archives.

It is in my mind essential exploring for anybody interested in the complexity of humanity and the kaleidoscopic wonder of the modern world.

The staff are tremendous and actively encourage the sharing and collecting of migratory stories from everybody who arrives.

In terms of a museum being a place of shared experience where everyone can explore their collected histories and delve into the histories of others, than the Migratory Museum might be unparalleled.

They are a small museum so don’t forget to spend lots of money at the remarkably...

This is a place for any generation of people to look ,listen and learn about Britain's very diverse migration and contribution to not only the empire but through to present day.Migration was not only about movement of people but about how they contributed to the economy through trade.Gave their lives in WW1 and WW2, changed the surroundings with there addition to architecture with places if worship. We now have a varied choice of foods recipes and style of dress. Even they way we look has changed for some people we have Inter mixed relationships that have produced biracial offspring that have a foot in two camps and add to the diversity of our nation. If you ate lucky enough to be able to listen to one of thier lecturers speak you understand the importance of understandng where we are today and how we got to this period in time.It was through much help from people's from the Empire.Do not miss the opportunity to visit.Yhe old fire station had been transformed into a wonderful place of knowledge and learning.

I found it very disappointing. First, it was difficult to find. There are no signs on the way, which is a pity. But I also found the layout confusing. There are quite a few doors, and it was not clear to me where to go and where to avoid. The exhibitions are mainly an array of anecdotes of migrants. I did not find this enticing. I could not find any figures on migrant numbers or where they settle. Also I would have liked to know more about the general experiences of migrants. Some presumably come without knowing anyone one here. That could be difficult, yet I did not get much of a sense of that. Others come to a group already here and that could also be difficult. There are lots of this about the migration process that people have in common, yet I left the exhibition without getting any sense of that. The best photographs were the big ones on the stairs outside! I would have liked a clearer focus - some of the exhibits I had no idea why they were there or what relevance they had to migration. I will not...
