Migration museums cover human migration in the past, present and future. The current trend in the development of migration museums, named differently worldwide, is an interesting phenomenon, as it may contribute to the creation of a new and multiple identity, at an individual and collective level. The United States with Ellis Island, Australia, Canada, and more recently several European countries — e.g., France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom — have been creating such venues to facilitate transmission between generations as well as encounters between migrants and the host populations, by telling their personal story. While these initiatives also serve the duty to remember, they seem to have three main objectives: ''Acknowledge, integrate and build awareness'' * ''Acknowledge'': The contributions made by migrants to their host societies; the diversity and wealth of the origin cultures and; the right to a dual-belonging. * ''Include and Integrate'': Foster the sense of belonging; enable the communities to feel as an integral part of the nation; find common ground and contribute to a national identity. * ''Build awareness and educate'' on the events that induced individuals — and refugees in particular — to leave their land, thus developing empathy among the host population. More generally, deconstruct stereotypes on immigration. Given the international scene and the latest events, from the Van Gogh affair in the Netherlands in 2004 to the so-called ‘crise des banlieues’ in France in 2005there is an urgent need to give the migrant generations (the youth as well as their parents) a voice, in order to foster inclusion, integration and the right to difference. Listening to individual stories may help to deconstruct stereotypes. Memory, History and Narration may also allow to take a step back and to consider the complete picture. Migration museums also face common challenges, in that they intend to be not only a venue for conservation and exhibition, but also and above all a lively meeting place. The challenge is not so much to bring in the intellectuals, academics, researchers, historians, traditional visitors of museums (the converted) but to attract the general public, those with preconceived ideas on immigration and the migrants themselves. In addition to the following list, there are many local heritage initiatives and smaller museums which have increasingly focused on migration as a part of the narrative they portray. ==Migration museums around the world== Argentina * (Museo de la inmigración ) Australia * (Immigration Museum )(Melbourne, State of Victoria) Migration Museum, Adelaide - Australia's oldest migration museum * (Migration Museum )(Adelaide, State of South Australia) *(NSW Migration Heritage Centre ) (New South Wales, Australia) Brazil * (Memorial do Imigrante ) Canada * (Pier 21 ) * (Immigrants to Canada ) * (Virtual Museum of orphans immigrated to Canada ) Denmark * (Immigrant Museet — The Danish Immigration Museum ) France * (Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration ) Germany * (DOMiT — Dokumentationszentrum ) * (Emigration World BallinStadt ) * (Museum über die Migration in Deutschland ) * ( Das Migrationsmuseum Rheinland Pfaltz im Internet ) Ireland * (Cobh Heritage Centre ) Israel * (Babylonian Jewry Heritage Center ) Italy * (Altre Italie ) Netherlands * (Kosmopolis — The House of Cultural Dialogue ) Norway * (Intercultural Museum ) Portugal * (Museu da Emigração e das Comunidades ) San Marino * (San Marino Study Centre on Emigration — Museum of the Emigrant ) Serbia * ( Serbian Migration Museum , ) South Africa * (Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum ) Spain * (MhiC — Museo de Historia de la Inmigración de Cataluña ) *(Arquivo da Emigración Galega ) Sweden * (Immigrant-institutet ) * (National Museums of World Culture ) * (The Multicultural Centre ) * (Swedish Emigrant Institute ) United Kingdom * (19 Princelet Street ) * ( Migration Museum Project ) * (Indian Presence in Liverpool ) * (History of London’s diverse communities ) * (Moving Here ) * (England's Past for Everyone ) United States * (Ellis Island Museum ) Other countries such as Switzerland and Belgium have support for national museums of migration but both of these have been put on hold because of lack of funding. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Migration museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
