At SOTOM, Curator, Margaret Price and her team of dedicated volunteers have created a fabulous testament to the cultural diversity that has been part of Broken Hill from its foundation. The team has preserved the history of the vibrant Jewish community that was once a part of life in the city, but the museum also incorporates much more. There\u2019s memorabilia from local Christian Churches, various local historical relics, as well as a research centre with archives and the quirky Titanic room featuring an exhibition on the fateful ocean liner. There\u2019s even a collection of diecast model vehicles from 1953 to 1983. The SOTOM building consists of the former Synagogue and a Rabbi\u2019s residence behind the stone facade.
