Schools Education Overview
The permanent and temporary exhibitions at the Jewish Museum of Australia offer a range of educational opportunities that respond creatively to the needs of the school curriculum. The Museum demonstrates this by dealing with issues of identity, traditional festivals, milestones of life, religious rituals and Jewish migration and its place in Australian history. Visiting students are offered the chance to participate in an experiential program.
