Australia’s National Monument to Migration

The Wall is one of the museum’s most important and visible tributes to our migration heritage.

On the 21st of March 2021, His Excellency, General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Rtd) declared the Welcome Wall as Australia’s National Monument to Migration.

The Museum collects the stories of migrants to Australia and the Wall is one of our most important and visible ways of recognising the people behind these stories.

Over 30,000 names already appear on the 84 bronze panels that are joined together and run down the northern promenade of the museum, facing Pyrmont Bay.
