The JAQ is set to emerge as the revitalised home for the Jewish Museum of Australia: Gandel Centre of Judaica (JMA) and Kadimah Jewish Cultural Centre & National Library.
The development of Melbourne’s new Jewish Arts Quarter (JAQ) has taken a major leap forward with the Victorian government officially granting it planning.
The precinct to be developed in Selwyn Street, Elsternwick, is being hailed as an inclusive destination that will offer great museum experiences, art, theatre, education, learning, music, food and shopping, as well as public spaces.
Adjacent to the Jewish Holocaust Centre, the JAQ is set to emerge as the revitalised home for the Jewish Museum of Australia: Gandel Centre of Judaica (JMA) and Kadimah Jewish Cultural Centre & National Library.
Melbourne’s new hub for Jewish life and culture got the green light from Minister for Planning Richard Wynne, who accepted the findings of the Independent Priority Projects Standing Advisory Committee.
