Sydney Jewish Museum is closed to the general public for redevelopment. We remain open for school excursions and corporate groups.

Learning at the Sydney Jewish Museum

The Sydney Jewish Museum offers a wide range of innovative programs and resources for students and teachers, covering a range of subjects and levels.

This year, the Sydney Jewish Museum is embarking on a redevelopment project, which will enable us to significantly expand the exhibitions and programs we deliver, and to welcome many more visitors, teachers and school groups. From 2025, we will continue to deliver our quality, impactful and curriculum-linked educational programs at the Museum for school groups. We will offer program bookings between 10am and 1pm. Where possible, we will try to accommodate programs outside of these times. We will also be offering hybrid online and in-museum programs to help meet your needs.

High School Excursions

We offer two-hour and three-hour excursions (full-day excursions available upon special request), both online and via Zoom. These sessions include talks from Holocaust survivors, a guided tour of the Museum and curriculum-linked workshops covering a range of topics including History, English, Studies of Religion, Legal Studies and more.
