Synagogue of the Outback Museum
Synagogue of the Outback Museum, Former synagogue museum in Broken Hill, Australia
The Synagogue of the Outback Museum occupies a stone building with a Rabbi's residence, displaying exhibits about Jewish heritage and local history.
Built in 1910, the synagogue served the Orthodox Jewish community until 1962, when declining population led to its closure and transformation into a museum.
The museum contains archives, religious artifacts, and exhibits documenting the Lithuanian and Ukrainian Jewish settlers who established the congregation in Broken Hill.
Visitors can explore the museum at 165 Wolfram Street on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays between 10 AM and 3 PM, with additional visits by appointment.
The building represents one of only three purpose-built synagogues in rural New South Wales and houses a replica Sefer Torah in its collection.
