Synagogue of the Outback Museum

Synagogue of the Outback Museum

The Synagogue in Broken Hill is a unique piece of Australian history, having been preserved, restored and heritage-listed. It is one of only three Synagogues outside Sydney, NSW to have been afforded this recognition. The Broken Hill Historical Society is the current owner of the property and it now houses the Synagogue of the Outback Museum.

The museum is a testament to the evolution of the Jewish community in regional Australia and is a fascinating destination for those interested in Australian history. It is also noteworthy for being one of the most remote Jewish museums in the world. The Synagogue itself is a reminder of the important role that the Jewish community played in the development of the outback regions of Australia.
