Following a three-year rebuild and redevelopment, the Melbourne Holocaust Museum (MHM) will welcome the public to two museums in its new facility this November.
The facility is the result of a 10-year design and planning phase led by Kerstin Thompson Architects, which also designed the multi award-winning new Bundanon Art Museum and The Bridge for Creative Learning that opened last year. MHM’s architecture is among the winners for the 2023 Victorian Architecture Awards in the category of Public Architecture. Inside MHM’s two museums at 13-15 Selwyn Street, in the inner Melbourne suburb of Elsternwick – including one tailored for younger audiences – are immersive VR (virtual reality) testimony experiences and a special memorial place.
