The Melbourne Holocaust Museum will close to the public on Thursday 25 December 2025 and will re-open to the public on Friday 02 January 2026.

 

Students participating in guided experience of the Everybody Had a Name exhibition

Please note that from Friday 19th December to Friday 9th January we will not be able to respond to enquiries due to the Museum being closed and staff annual leave. From Monday 12th January we will be working through all enquiries in date order. We appreciate your patience while we do this. Wishing you all the best for the end of 2025 and we look forward to seeing you in the new year.


At the MHM, we inspire the next generation to think critically. Practise empathy. And stand up against racism, discrimination and prejudice. 
 

Our school programs allow students to learn about the Holocaust through individual perspectives – and connect with Melbourne-based survivors through their testimonies and artefacts.  

All programs are age specific and guided by our ‘safely in, safely out, safely throughout’ educational philosophy. 

At the MHM, we are committed to providing a child-safe environment. We support and respect all children and young people. Their safety and wellbeing are our priority. Our practices are inspired by Holocaust victim Henryk Goldszmit, who published the ‘Declaration of Children’s Rights’ in 1928 under the pen name Janusz Korczak.
