Located in the Old Customs House in the heart of the city, the museum re-creates the real-life stories of coming to Australia with a rich mix of moving images, personal and community voices, memories and memorabilia. From the reasons for making the journey, to the moment of arrival in a new country, and the impact on indigenous communities, these stories are sometimes sad, sometimes funny, but always engaging.

The award winning National Opal Collection showroom is amongst Australia's most fascinating tourist attractions. Here you will discover the incredible link between the opal and the dinosaur. Part museum, part sales showroom, it not only has a huge array of opals and jewellery for sale, but also shows how opals came to be formed over millions of years and how they are mined today. As you enter you are surrounded by dioramas of Australia's outback and then taken through time from the dinosaur age to modern day opal production. Exhibits show how the bones of prehistoric creatures can become opalised. The National Opal Collection also provides educational programs for pre-arranged groups. These programs include a viewing of a 7-minute DVD production, The Opal Story, which explains the different types of opal and how and where they are mined. The film is available in English, Japanese, Mandarin, German, French and English with Simplified Chinese subtitles. Multi-lingual staff are also on hand to provide information on opal and its formation. The DVD is viewed in a 50-seat auditorium.
