Having a Polish Jewish grandparent that survived WWII before migrating to Australia, I thought it would be a great idea to check this place out. Admittedly I only have limited knowledge about Judaism, but this place is fantastic. There's so much about the history of Melbourne's Jewish community and Judaism in general. They even offer a free tour of the synagogue across the road at no extra charge once per day. You should visit and support this museum and the Jewish community in Melbourne.

First time at the jewish museum and can say that I will definitely go back. Lots of interesting facts abou their history and culture. Ian and Roberta are amazing, they were patient answering all our questions and explaining facts their migration to Australia. We were even invited to the synagogue! I don’t have any polish background or Jewish family however I respect this people for all they have been through and their resilience to cope and keep the community together.

Very interesting, irrespective of your view it is always interesting to see another perspective. The overview from the first fleet Jews to the 1966 St Kilda grand final, Sir John Monash to Sir Zelman Cowan and not to forget John Safran, the impact within Australia of the Jewish community is amazing. To get to go on a tour of the synagogue was amazing, the information that was given by our guide made for such an interesting time, pity it was cut short.

It was my first time at the Jewish Museum for the Mirka Mora exhibition which will run until December 2021. It's a beautiful curated exhibition held in a beautiful space. The staff were outstanding and engaging. Do yourself a favour and take the time to book and see this exhibition (an hour out of your time). Mirka is such an iconic part of Australian culture and well worth it!!!

Every human being has limited time and energy. To undertake the limitation of energy, we collaborate with other people to create a gestalt. I always wonder the solutions for that of time. Today visiting the Jewish museum and their Synagogue, I figured out one key answer is to build a strong culture for the next generations. A collective unconsciousness for open-minded thoughts.

A very interesting and well curated permanent exhibition of Jewish culture throughout time. Also currently on exhibition well worth a visit is Helmut Newton's photography. Very interesting. I enjoyed the series of short films before I went up to the exhibition. Perhaps the rear entrance is accessible for wheelchairs and other limited mobilities, prams etc.
