Ellis Island Immigration Museum - details and images

Between 1892 and 1954 over 12 million immigrants passed through here in search of American dream, and today the museum buildings bring back the drama and hopes to audiences who often came from the other end of the world in search of freedom and democracy, even if often unaware no English or history of the place where he desperately wanted to go. Emotion travel, medical examinations, documents, photographs, personal items, all make up an impressive collection.
