A compact but remarkably well-curated museum in St Kilda exploring Jewish history, culture, and the Australian Jewish experience across two centuries. The Holocaust testimony galleries are handled with great care and the rotating contemporary art exhibitions are consistently strong. It's small enough to do thoroughly in two hours and the staff are knowledgeable and welcoming. Closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays, so check the calendar before visiting.
