About the program:
Our full day program allows teachers to build a full day excursion comprised of two workshops, a survivor talk, a museum tour and a lunch break. When submitting your enquiry let our team know your choice of workshops from our program list.
The Sydney Jewish Museum is embarking on a major redevelopment project which will enable us to significantly expand and enhance our programs and exhibitions. As a result, the Museum will be closed in 2026. However, when we reopen in 2027, we will welcome many more visitors, teachers and school groups. Although our museum site is currently under reconstruction and closed to the public, we continue to provide school groups with quality, impactful and curriculum-linked educational programs at a nearby temporary location. Bookings are available from 9am to 4pm every weekday except Friday. We can also design bespoke online sessions to meet your needs.
If you’d like to speak to our team about your booking, you can contact us at bookings@sjm.com.au
