Jewish Museum London

About

The Jewish Museum London is currently operating as a "museum without walls" while it searches for a new permanent home, but it continues to offer a range of engaging displays and exhibitions both online and at partner venues across the UK. Visitors can explore the rich history and culture of British Jews through exhibitions such as "Jewish Britain: A History in 50 Objects," which highlights key artefacts from the community’s past, and "Modern Jewish Life," showcasing contemporary photography of 21st-century Jewish experiences. The museum also delves into specific themes, such as the history of the Jewish Deaf community and the story of Auschwitz survivor Leon Greenman OBE, whose personal collection is on display at the National Holocaust Centre & Museum. Other highlights include displays of ceremonial art, a medieval mikveh (ritual bath), and interactive exhibits on British Jewish migration and settlement, including a recreation of an East End street and tailor’s workshop. The museum’s programming also features temporary exhibitions, podcasts, and community projects, ensuring a dynamic and evolving experience that reflects the diversity and vibrancy of Jewish life in Britain
