At the Jewish Museum of Australia, we illuminate Jewish life. At the intersection of art and Jewish culture, our Museum is a place for all people to share in the Australian Jewish experience.
We are:
Authentic: Committed to excellence, heritage and quality;
Inclusive: Building a sense of belonging and trust with people of all backgrounds;
Innovative: A museum experience re-imagined beyond our community and country; and
Open: Sparking curiosity, conversation and social cohesion through connection and play.
We seek to infuse all we do with:
Chesed, or compassion and kindness; and
Tikkun olam, or the desire to improve our world.
The Jewish Museum of Australia acknowledges the crucial contribution that artists and the arts make to enriching and enlivening our community’s cultural landscape.
Opportunities exist for the Jewish Museum to support artists, makers, art enthusiasts, and community arts groups in their endeavours within the JMA community.
