Mardi Gras 2024
The iconic Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival returns from 16 February to 3 March 2024. Here’s how the Museum is celebrating and observing Mardi Gras this year:
Queer eye through a Jewish lens: A panel discussion
Thursday 29 February, 6pm
Join us in conversation with a panel of LGBTQIA+ members of the Jewish community, in the leadup to the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Host Julie McCrossin AM will examine how rising antisemitism is affecting the safety and well-being of the queer Jewish community in Australia.
Free Pride tours
Sunday 3 March, 12.30PM and 2.30PM
The Museum will be hosting a series of exclusive Mardi Gras tours during the weeks of the festival. The tours are designed to deepen understanding of human rights and the Jewish-LGBTQIA+ story.
Our iconic Pride banners are back
Visit us during Mardi Gras to see our building facade come alive with rainbow illustrations by local artist, Leo Greenfield. The artwork explores the intersections between Jewish and queer identities, inspired by the traditional Jewish art forms of paper cutting and wood printing.
We are open today from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
