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.

Very well-organized. With detailed captions. You could learn a lot about the Jewish culture and traditions and it sort of demystifies them. (It is so informative that I could not finish all of them on one go!)

Small but well planned displays covering many aspects Jewish life from medieval times till the present. Helpful staff,lift and toilets clearly marked plus a small cafe. Worth a visit.

Nice cafeteria. Interesting and educational. Looking forward to when this place reopens.

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

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.

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...

Good place to see to know the history of Migration of Jews till their current settlement in Israel

Amazing baking experience on a Sunday challah baking session. My almost four year old loved mixing all the ingredients then whilst it was baking we saw a little bit of the exhibition. Particularly liked the dressing up part. Later we ate our packed lunches in the cafe area where they also had books and colouring for children.

The Charlotte Salomon temporary exhibition was the most moving and profound exhibition I've experienced. Well spaced and annotated. A must see before it closes on March 1 2020. The permanent exhibition on Jewish belief and customs and Jewish history in Britain was also comprehensive and very informative. Lovely volunteers and gift shop as well - as far as I know the only gift shop in the UK where you can buy a Hasidic rubber ducky and a Noam Chomsky sock puppet in the same transaction.

I enjoyed the Jewish Museum, wanted to visit before it closed down/moved. The tour was full which was a pity. The displays were good, but I couldn’t help thinking that it wasn’t quite as good as other similar museums around the world. I’m hoping it’ll reopen and be even better.

I think for a relatively small museum, it packs a lot of information on the Jewish life and culture in UK with some global historical background. Personally, I was hoping for more London east end history, stories, people, anecdotes as I grew up in East London, but there's certainly a good flavour and introduction of this specific aspect. Interactive for school learning which is very commendable. Worth visiting on many levels.

Most to visit

Brilliant but for me a sad experience

Very well done with interactive activities for children. Goes into detail about Jewish history since 1066 within Britain. Worth a visit

A very interesting museum to visit and with serviceminded staff.

attended for the Gosciny exhibition. the grim security guys at the front rather dim the mood, inside the space is warmer and compact, just right for this exhibition.

Great staff! A tiny little museum that is full of information! You go in and learn tons about the culture and history! Great visit if you have an hour or two to spare!

Intensely moving and very interesting

Love the cafe, very interesting place to visit.

A lovely museum . Went on the last day of opening and bought a timed ticket . Very reasonable ticket charge. Plenty to see I enjoyed the experience

A respectful place full of great information about the heritage of Jews and their faith.

Great museum. It’s very well organised

Amazing museum! Went there on work experience and thoroughly enjoyed it. All staff are approachable and knowledgeable and are happy to help

Very interesting. The museum deals with the history of the Jewish people in Great Britain since the 10th century, as well in Europe. A lovely visit.

Incredibly informative and welcoming place - came here with my Jewish cousin who lives locally, I still have the pen from the gift shop

When I was there 'Designs on Britain'' about exiles from Nazi Europe was featured - The guided trip through the design exhibition was really informative -Designer of the Chopper bike Tom Karen a big figure of the exhibition - also nice little café there

Very reflective and interesting on Jewish ✡ living and history

Very interesting museum with fascinating display on the history of British Jews

You can get more information about Jewish in London.

Fascinating exhibits and very knowledgeable, approachable staff. Looking forward to visiting their new, larger location

Very interesting

Gripping exhibition. But poorly displayed and indifferent staff

I was there some years ago, the museum itlsef it's impressive, so interesting. But, at the same time, there was this girl in the reception screaming and shouting while I was reading what happened to the jews through the years...quite disapointing. Hope she's not there anymore.

Terrific, the small size is appreciated too

It’s very small Musuem

Very informative with lots to see.

Goody

It was amazing learning experience for me.

A brilliant mix of past (heritage) and present (culture), deserves to be bigger. Humbled yet proud to be Jewish.

Very interesting place.

Informative place to understand not only the history but also the way of life. Kind staffs.

Really interesting and very informative museum. Also a very moving experience, especially the display regarding a survivor of the concentration camps.

The Permanent Collection is especially good with history going right back to the Normans and including of course the horrors of WW2 .

Lovely little museum withe even lovelier volunteer on a Friday leading us around!

Very good experience enjoy the day staff were brilliant

Found this museum so intetesting and staff so helpful

A very enlightening place .

Holocaust Memorial Service with 3 fabulous speakers. The Mayor of Camden was there too.

Wonderful experience.

The stuff were nice but the price didn't worth it for the size of the museum.

Enjoyable

Have seen better. The museum focuses more on Jews who came or lived here in Britain.

good place i reccomend
