For example , in her article entitled A whistle-stop tour of migration in museums and galleries across the world ( https :// www . migrationmuseum . org / tag / museum-of-copenhagen /), she points out about museums in Australia and Italy that :
“ It is clear that museums across the world differ in their decision on whose histories of migration to include . The Immigration Museum in Melbourne and the Migration Museum in Adelaide , for example , explore not only the story of immigration to Australia but also its devastating impact on the indigenous communities . An impressive number of museums in Italy are dedicated to the country ’ s long history of emigration . But 1973 was a turning point : in that year more people migrated to Italy than left it . In a laudable attempt to encourage the visitor to see parallels between past emigrants and more recent immigrants , Italian museums have included sections on post-1973 immigration .”
