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

Musings: SJM Journal

Musings: SJM Journal is the Sydney Jewish Museum’s peer-reviewed research publication.

Musings is a cross-disciplinary, scholarly and educational publication that promotes research into all topics relevant to the Sydney Jewish Museum’s exhibitions, collection and programming. These include the Holocaust, Human Rights, Jewish culture as well as Holocaust memorialisation, Civics and Citizenship education and Museum Studies. It publishes articles on these subjects both to increase knowledge of these topics, and to improve and share expertise in educating about these difficult pasts.
