Australia's Religious Museums

Mary MacKillop Place in North Sydney is a museum devoted to the life of Mary Helen MacKillop, who was the co-founder of the Order of the Sisters of St. Joseph and is on her way to being Australia's first saint. The Sydney Jewish Museum tells the story of Judaism and Jewish history, including the Holocaust and key figures going back to the First Fleet. A mystery mosaic discovered during a renovation in the Sydney suburb of Paddington proudly hangs on its wall, and awaits further identification.
