The inside of this wonderful museum is shaped like the star of David. There are several levels and looking down from the top one can see the configuration of the star. Exhibits are of the history of the Jews as well as the Holocaust. It is an experience that is well worth the visit. Upon arriving we were greeted by... More

A visit to the Jewish museum will have a lasting effect. From the moment you enter and see the shoes and meet the guides who have first hand experience of being in a concentration camp and losing their loved ones. An educational experience for the whole famioly

Beautifully maintained museum full of artifacts from the Holocaust. We had an extremely friendly and informative guide from Canada. Upon arrival we heard from a Holocaust survivor who was so full of life and passion...truly inspirational. I am not Jewish and fully enjoyed my time at the Sydney Jewish Museum

A treasure trove of artefacts and a few people who survived the holocaust who share their amazing stories of courage and bravery.

The displays & the guided tour were great. I learnt so much that I always wondered about. Will most certainly visit there again next time I am in Sydney.

Maybe we had the wrong expectations after reading the Trip Advisor reviews as well as reviews on the website. When we travel, we either hire Jewish experts or guides or visit Jewish museums. What intrigued us here was that the tour would be led by a survivor. This primary testimony will not be available for too much longer. Our other... More

this museum has a very sad history it retells to those who wish to know more about the Holocaust and Jewish history. It's a lovely place to visit in that the staff are friendly and informative and it's a beautiful building. The content is quite upsetting but a part of history that I think everyone should know about.

Well designed, this museum packs in many engaging exhibits into a small space. The museum has guides on hand to enrich the experience as well as multimedia exhibits. There is a cafe and museum shop with an impressive collection of books.

Visited others and found them all so moving. Mans' inhumanity to Man. Found hardest to listen to were the videos by the survivors themselves. Their stories made me cry.
