Watch: Mirka's Palace of Dreams

Permanent

In this charming documentary from 1989, Mirka Mora travels into the Kosciusko wilderness with Tim McCartney Snape, the first Australian ever to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, and a Nepalese Sherpa.

Featuring stunning footage of the Australian wilderness, this film captures Mirka’s unique and expressive personality, her eccentricity, her artist’s eye and her boundless enthusiasm for the world around her.

At the Jewish Museum of Australia: Gandel Centre of Judaica, we illuminate Jewish life. We do this knowingly and respectfully acknowledging the first storytellers and their diverse Indigenous cultures across what is now called Australia. At the Jewish Museum we tell our stories on the lands of the Bunurong peoples and pay our respect to the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their Elders, past and present.
