Jewish Museum Cafe

The Jewish museum is a hidden gem of a museum. It is important to check the museum website for opening times and tickets etc. As a non Jew I found the museum a treasure trove of Jewish life and history on this island. Of interest is the exhibition of the lived experience of Judaism in the UK. And the important contribution of Jews to British life. An essential part of the solero of British life history. The Holocaust is narrated through the eyes of a British Jew who found himself and his wife caught up in the madness of antisemitism. His testimony is moving as are the artifacts of life in these camps. A visit is very recommended.

Love this amazing and interesting place. Got caught up in the library which is so full of interesting and informative books with lovely comfortable and peaceful reading areas as well. Otherwise, it looked well presented and staff were professional, kind, gracious and helpful. Although not Jewish myself, I would love to go again and again, and soon. Lovely kind atmosphere

this museum is a nice place for people who wants to learn about the jews. as a jew,it was nice to see the exhibition ,but the information wasn't much useful. History of jews in Britain was nice,but the 3rd floor exhibition of pictures that was when i was there (this floor seems to change from time to time) was boring for me at least. There is a class there,suitable for schools or universities that want to learn a bit about Judaism, but Judaism is much more than showed there...

I really enjoyed my visit here and learnt alot about the history and culture of Jews in Britain from the first settlers who came over in 1066. The entry price is very fair, £8.50 Adult and £6.50 concession. The museum itself has three floors each with a different aspect of Jewish culture. The top floor is currently dedicated to the artistic work of Charlotte Salomon describing her life through a chronological set of paintings. The 2nd floor is devoted to the history and culture associated with Jewish settlement in England and is the core of this museum. It also houses a section on the holocaust. On the first floor you have all the beautiful Jewish religious artifacts, many focused on the Torah, the holy book.
