Jewish Museum of Australia

The Jewish Museum of Australia is the only museum in Victoria that explores and celebrates the breadth of Australian Jewish life, culture and history.

The Jewish Museum of Australia brings it to life through unique temporary and permanent exhibitions, school education programs and short courses, as well as through a vibrant calendar of events including talks, creative workshops, family and children’s activities, live music, and guided walks.

Until 19 December 2021, The Jewish Museum of Australia, in partnership with William Mora Galleries and supported by Heide Museum of Modern Art, presents MIRKA – an intimate, previously unseen view into the rich and fascinating life of the late Mirka Mora (1928–2018).

A story of survival and migration, interspersed with a generous dose of family, art, food and love, Mirka Mora’s history is a profoundly affecting post-Holocaust Australian Jewish tale which, until now, has not been presented with such depth and scope.

At the intersection of art and Jewish culture, our Museum is a place for all people to share in the Australian Jewish experience.

The Jewish Museum of Australia is located at 26 Alma Road St Kilda VIC 3182, a two-minute walk from tram stop 32 on St Kilda Rd (Routes 3 or 67). The Jewish Museum welcomes visitors from all cultural and religious backgrounds.
