Jewish Museum of Australia

The Jewish Museum of Australia in St Kilda holds collections of artifacts, photographs, and documents about Jewish life throughout Australian history. The exhibitions display personal objects and materials that tell the stories of migrants and refugees.

The museum was founded in 1982 to collect and preserve items from Jewish refugees who came to Australia. This collection documents the arrival and survival of people who fled persecution.

The collection displays religious objects such as Torah scrolls and ceremonial pieces that show Jewish customs and traditions. You can see how these items were used in daily life and during celebrations.

The museum offers guided tours and educational programs to give visitors deeper access to Jewish history. Interactive exhibitions and workshops help people learn more about the different experiences of community members.

The museum maintains a research library and archive where scholars and students investigate Australian Jewish history through primary source materials. These collections allow visitors to access personal letters, diaries, and rare documents that are otherwise hard to find.
