About the organisation

Organisation name : Jewish Museum of Australia

At the Jewish Museum of Australia, we illuminate Jewish life. At the intersection of art and Jewish culture, our Museum is a place for all people to share in the Australian Jewish experience. Through a vibrant calendar of onsite and online experiences and events, the Jewish Museum is recognised as one of Australia’s leading community museums.


Celebrating global Jewish excellence and everydayness through an Australian prism, we inspire curiosity, conversation and play with engagement and connection at our heart.


Guided by our strong belief in the power of museums to change lives, we create world- class exhibitions and programs that convey the stories of our diverse community and enhance social cohesion.


With the highly successful launch of the Museum’s MIRKA exhibition and the prospect of a major redevelopment on the horizon (as a part of the newly announced Jewish Arts Quarter in Elsternwick), this is an opportune moment to become a part of this dynamic organisation.
