Reviews
Sydney Jewish Museum is located in Darlinghurst near the CBD. Very few museums will hit you the way this way this museum hits you. A very informative museum about Jewish history, culture and about the holocaust. Holocaust was one of the darkest times for humanity and education about it is important to ensure such events never ever happen again. They had a new exhibition called “Reverberations” which uses artificial intelligence which has pre-recorded interviews of holocaust survivors to preserve their memories and is worth checking out. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Sydney.
It's one of the best museums in Sydney. Your visit is a must when visiting Sydney. Take your children, and you can show them the piece of history that is not teached by woke teachers at the schools anymore.
The best Museum, at least the one I spend the most time reading, in Australia.
It costs 15 AUD per person.
You need to talk to the gate to get in.
At first, I thought it’s a private place but it’s not.
Just ask the guard to let you in and go though bag check.
It has lots of history regarding Jew history including the holocaust.
They also provide free tour.
Strongly recommended.
It is truly an eye opening and emotion experience to see this dark part of history come to life through the the testimony of survivors, the photographs, artefacts and journal entries.
The staff are passionate, knowledgeable and created an engaging tour for our group that shared a balance of shock and confrontation, whilst also sharing the resilience and courage of many Jewish people.
Excellent museum with a large range of exhibits, and the staff which some are Holocaust survivors were very helpful. A lot of students on excursions. Very moving stories and a in depth historical journey of the events of the Holocaust and experiences of the Jewish people. If you’re interested in WW2, this museum is a must see.
No need for a history book it is a living book what happen to the Jews during before and after World War II on Sunday there is a Holocaust survivor talking about her personal suffering and life in Auschwitz she is a 19 year old survivor who lost almost her whole family before coming to Australia the only problem I found was a mathematical algebraic problem with a wrong answer in the famous Jewish mathematician section of the museum go in and try their coffee and great cakes in the cafeteria it's well worth it it's well worth a visit if you have the time here in Sydney to learn about the past
If you have to visit just one museum in the city, this is it. Buzz the door and get past security checks and enter the world of Judaism and jewish history. Splendid display of Australian contribution and the exhibition related to events leading to and beyond the holocaust. Great collection of personal artifacts, supporting audio and video commentary. Do visit the children’s room for a personal touch and to know more about the victims. Auditorium sometimes hosts talks with victims and is a great way to understand from first hand experiences. Special thanks to them for sharing such painful experiences with everyone and taking questions.
What an experience. This gem is beautiful and holds SO much history and knowledge. You can spend a few hours here, good layout providing chronological timeline of Jewish history. Knowledgeable staff/volunteers who speak from firsthand accounts. Everyone should come here to educate themselves on the horrors of the holocaust and how it has shaped our present day.
