The Jewish Museum of Australia is the only Jewish community museum in Australia, which aims to "explore and share the Jewish experience in Australia". It is located in St Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne. The museum has presented over forty wide-ranging exhibitions, several of which traveled nationally. The museum has attracted significant communal support and won several industry awards. In 2011, the museum conceived the Babel Project.〔(MWArchitecture JMA: The Babel Project )〕 ==History== The Jewish Museum of Australia was established in 1982 by Rabbi Ronald Lubofski to display his Judaica collection to the public. It was located in the synagogue of the Melbourne Hebrew Congregation, South Yarra, until 1995. In 1992, the Jewish Museum purchased a building in Alma Road, St Kilda opposite the St Kilda Hebrew Congregation, and close to Temple Beth Israel. The museum was officially opened at the new site by the then Governor-General, Bill Hayden, on 20 August 1995 as the Jewish Museum of Australia, Gandel Centre of Judaica. Helen Light was museum director from 1983 to 2010.〔Monash University: (Dr Helen Light, Director )〕 In 2010, Rebecca Forgasz took over the position.〔(The Age, 7 May 2012 )〕〔(58th Blake Prize Melbourne.
