"Founded in 1992, The Sydney Jewish Museum itself has been beautifully designed to provide visitors with a multi-sensory experience across the exhibits and a richer understanding of the Holocaust and the history of Judaism in Australia. It is a fascinating place to visit with kids, but I do suggest speaking with the museum team when you arrive to discuss which exhibits may be confronting for your children. Opening Times: Sunday – Thursday 10.00 am – 4:00 pm | Friday and Saturday Closed | Public/Jewish Holidays closedTicket Prices: $40.00 (2 adults and 2 students)."
"The Sydney Jewish Museum was founded in 1992 by immigrants who were survivors of the Holocaust in World War Two. It tells their stories – and those of many others from the time – and includes personal items related to the atrocities. The collection has expanded over the years and the museum also has exhibits about Judaism before and after the Holocaust."
"Sydney Jewish Museum is an interesting destination that specializes in the exhibits of the Holocaust. The Museum is situated in central Sydney. The artefacts of the museum reveal the description of the lives and cultures of the early Jews who had immigrated to Australia."
"Built in 1805, Vaucluse House is quite extravagant and one of the remaining 19th-century mansions still surrounded by its original gardens and wooded grounds. Purchased in 1827 by William Charles Wentworth (yes, the very man who Wentworth and Wentworth Falls is named), he set about making the original cottage quite a statement with his partner Sarah Cox. However it was never completed and finding the front door is still quite a perplexing issue."
"Vaucluse House was built in 1803 and was once owned by William Charles Wentworth, father of the Australian Constitution. It’s one of Sydney’s few remaining 19th-century mansions that is still surrounded by its ten hectares of original gardens and grounds. Take a tour through the house for a glimpse of what life was life for the families who once lived there, stroll around the beautiful gardens and enjoy a high tea at the tea rooms."
"Construction of this imposing, turreted specimen of Gothic Australiana, set amid 10 hectares of lush gardens, commenced in 1805, but the house was tinkered with into the 1860s. Atmospheric, and decorated with..."
