Treasures of the Jewish Museum, London

The aim of the Jewish Museum, founded in 1932, is to explore Jewish life, history and religion in Britain and beyond. Its Jewish ceremonial art collections are among the finest in the world. The Museum also has social history displays that bring to life the roots and experiences of Jewish people in London, in particular the East End, the point of arrival for many immigrants. Here are just a few of the highlights of our wonderful collections. If you would like to find out more, we invite you to visit the Museum.
