MELBOURNE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM 

The Melbourne Holocaust Museum was created by Melbourne Holocaust survivors as a memorial to the 6 million Jews who were murdered in WWII. More than just an award-winning museum and education centre, it also houses an incredible collection of eyewitness testimonies, historical documents and artefacts from the Holocaust, available to be explored.

The museum's opening in November of 2023 marked the culmination of a 10 year design and planning exercise and a three year construction phase. The facility features two museums; one dedicated to a younger audience, and a special memorial space. The building has already received an architecture award for its outstanding design by Kerstin Thompson Architects.

In 2025 the Melbourne Holocaust Musuem presented Aftershocks - Nolan and the Holocaust. The collection included 56 works of Nolan’s 1961 paintings of Auschwitz victims and, exhibited for the first time, his later works depicting the Ravensbrück women’s Holocaust camp. Zilla and Brook acheived features in The Age, RRR and SBS Hebrew for this exhibition.
