Let me start by saying this museum is stunningly beautiful, pristine in presentation inside and out, with fantastic assistance from the security guard at the door right through to the wonderful ladies on the front desk.

A very harrowing museum of man's inhumanity to man. When we visited, the guide was a survivor of a camp which brought the horror of it all so close. Will people ever learn from history.

This is an amazing museum to visit. Both confronting and moving, it is a reminder of the horrors of war and the importance of peace and of acceptance and celebration of difference. Take some tissues.

It then tells the story of Jewish history in Australia (including the fact that this may be the only country in the world that knows for sure the date and name of the first Jewish resident-- he was on the first...

This is a very informative museum. I really like this kind of museum that explains the history of a religion. There is a huge one in Berlin as well but i prefered this one. It was more informative.

A visit to the Jewish museum will have a lasting effect. From the moment you enter and see the shoes and meet the guides who have first hand experience of being in a concentration camp and losing their loved ones. An educational experience for the whole famioly

Beautifully maintained museum full of artifacts from the Holocaust. We had an extremely friendly and informative guide from Canada. Upon arrival we heard from a Holocaust survivor who was so full of life and passion...truly inspirational. I am not Jewish and fully enjoyed my time at the Sydney Jewish Museum
