Coming in July 2022, this exhibition showcases 50 paintings by the prolific Australian artist Sir Sidney Nolan that have never been seen before in Australia. They tell the story of a largely unknown chapter in Nolan's life: the trial of the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, and the artist's own visit to Auschwitz.
This exhibition traces the history of human rights and focuses on major human rights issues in Australia. Using digital technologies, this interactive space invites visitors to challenge their assumptions, reflect on their perceptions and contemplate topics that may prove irresolvable.
Join us for a talk with Wendy Sharpe, one of Australia’s most acclaimed artists and winner of numerous awards including the Archibald Prize. Wendy will discuss the ways in which history is powerfully portrayed through the medium of art. She will also share her thoughts on the Museum’s upcoming Nolan exhibition.

Hundreds of volunteers from all walks of life and backgrounds have dedicated their time and hard work to support the Museum since our inception 30 years ago. Here’s a spotlight on some of the generous volunteers who work with us.
Lucy Chladek was born in 1937. Even after surviving the Holocaust, she and her family were still not safe.
On International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia we reflect on the untold testimonies from the persecuted LGBTIQ community during the Holocaust.
The support of our members is essential to ensure the Sydney Jewish Museum can continue to educate and inspire students, teachers and general visitors on the history of the Holocaust and the important messages of Holocaust survivors. Our work inspires our audiences to be more empathetic, aware and driven to make positive change in the world.
