Excellent museum, and only €6 to get in, the history is very interesting, both how they found the ruins and how this lived in the Jewish quarter in the past. They do a really good job of bringing the history alive. all of the signs are in English with the exception of the intro video as they have removed the translation headphones due to Covid. I’d really recommend asking to visit the Jesus cemetery next door, when your finished at the museum ask for the key, you have to leave a form of ID as a deposit.

My expectations of this museum were probably too high. Procedure: Door locked, police car in front of the door. You have to ring the bell and wait until a security guard comes to the door and opens it. Inside there is a bag check and a metal detector (like at the airport). I can understand the security precautions these days. Entry costs €6, bags and backpacks must be stored in a locker. You can then go into the very manageable exhibition. A few objects are shown in glass showcases and a model and a short film are used to explain what the Judengasse was. At the end you will find a room with - yes - with what actually? During the construction of the building, the remains of some houses from what was then Judengasse were discovered. At first everything was supposed to be thrown away, but there was strong protest among the population. So it was decided to turn the remains into a museum. What bothers me? If you look at old photos of the excavation pit from back then, you can see that the old foundations were not handled very carefully. What you find in the exhibition today gives the impression that everything found was first torn down and then somehow reconstructed again. Large parts are new productions. You stand in the middle of and on new stones, with some old but probably newly erected areas of walls, cellars and steps in between. The “guardian” in the exhibition couldn’t say anything specific. A pity. But to us it all gave the impression of a reconstruction. We also couldn't imagine which part were buildings and which part belonged to the street. The exhibition is somehow not finished. It would probably make sense to do the tour with a guide. As it was, it was kind of disappointing.

Wow! We came on Museum free day (last Saturday of the month). Actually we didn’t know about the museum. We were at an art museum and a kind stranger told us about this museum. We learned so much about Frankfurt history, Jewish history and we’re able to walk around the foundations of the Jewish Ghetto “Jedengasse”. The museum is great on free day, but honestly we’ll worth the small admission price. We are so glad we went.

Archaeological relic of the Ghetto gives you a sense of what a ghetto looked like. The cemetery is also amazingly preserved. The staff is super friendly and sweet.

Museum Judengasse is a very good museum and interesting museum. Judengasse was a former ghetto (1462-1796) that was torn down in the middle of 19th century, and newer houses were built over the foundtations of the old ones The neighborhood's two synagogues were destroyed in 1938. In connection with new construction in this century, they excavated the area and chose to build a museum around several of the houses in Judengasse. Really nice presentation. (Visit on July 22, 2023)

The Judengasse Museum is more than just a museum. It is a place of remembrance and a place where one can learn to understand. This museum is also interesting for school children, as the history of the Jews in Frankfurt is made understandable for children through small stations where they can become active. I can only recommend a visit to the Judengasse Museum to everyone.

An all-round successful visit from the first to the last moment. All employees are very helpful and friendly. The history of the Jewish citizens, or part of it, is presented in an interesting and worth seeing way. Unfortunately it's only a small house, but I managed to stay there for 3 hours so there was a lot of information. I can recommend the museum to everyone.

This museum should be on every cultural itinerary for visits to Frankfurt. The history of Judengasse is presented with a great mix of modern technology and historical finds. The (very friendly) staff is also available to answer any questions you may have. Definitely a museum visit that provided a lot of information to both my historical and social knowledge. I find the “free” entry, which is included in the entrance ticket for the Jewish Museum, particularly generous. With the Frankfurt Card, this ticket cost me 7EUR, which is an unbeatable price for 2 museums / 3 exhibitions!

This is not a museum that you just visit in passing. The gaps in knowledge are significantly smaller afterwards, there is so much to grasp! A 2 hour visit was enough for a first impression, but I will come back to understand everything, it's worth it! Walking through the old Jewish cemetery next door is touching and it's good to have time for it. The staff are friendly and helpful. thanks for that

If you’re curious about the vivid Jewish life before the war this place is a must go. However, one should keep in mind that this museum is a rather archeological one and if you’re interested in a wider collection the other Jewish museum in the city is a better option for sure. Special thanks to the museum staff for their warm welcome.

Small museum but very rich in contents. It worth to be seen, also the cemetery

Sehr schönes Museum,ein Besuch wert👍👍👌 If you want to know about something what's going on about the Jewish people in Frankfurt, it's an must go, 👍

A must see. It's the only way to understand how life was for the Jews when they were forced to live in one small area, including the rich and the poor. Politically, it is amazing the remains were preserved. Don't miss the cemetery directly adjacent to the building. It is a sad reminder.

Do not miss this museum if you are in Frankfurt longer. It is made really interesting, including things for kids (so you can visit with your kid as well), it tells an interesting story about the first Jewish getto in the world, with real artifacts and archeological findings. Ask for the key to the cemetery as well, it has a powerfull message. Advise: this is not the Jewish museum, that one is another one, much bigger one.

Beautifully curated historical site with interesting media installations. The graveyard next door is also worth a visit.

Not too big, not too small. Highly recommended in terms of content and interactive even for the little ones.

It is a peace of history in the very heart of the city. A modern building next to the jewish cemitery. Very nice staff.

That's fine, but I can't recommend it without a guide

The museum depicts the origin of the Jewish quarter in Frankfort since inception, its development across several centuries and how it was destroyed and rebuild. In the museum.you will find the original foundation of three houses of the original Jewish Quarter.

The exhibition is very interesting and well designed. The integration of the foundations of the historic houses into the museum was extremely successful. Within the foundations, however, I would have liked a little more detailed information about which floor and which room you are currently standing on. Unfortunately, even though we were the first visitors to arrive at 10:00 a.m., the toilets didn't seem particularly clean and the employee at the checkout was apparently a bit overwhelmed. But the great exhibition definitely made up for it :)

Not very busy, but super interesting museum. Lots of info about life in the pogrom.

Really impactful experience! Very sobering and moving!

Very small, but good. Only worth ir you buy tickets for 2 jewish museums

Excellent museum about Jewish history in the early modern era emphasizing the relationship of the crowded ghetto to the other communities in the growing commercial city.

Very nice museum Amazing contribution to the Jewish history in Frankfurt

It's cool to see how Jewish people keeps their history and to understand how big was the Jewish community role in Frankfurt.

Small museum but the interactivity was quite enjoyable and we were there for about an hour and a half.

Very educational, easy to take in. Caution: lots of stairs, some steep.

Very nice modern building built over the foundations of three houses on the former street Judengasse. There is also a good video of the history of the district. Access to the Jewish Cemetery is through this museum.

Great museum with interactive exhibit, very good audio, maps, and storytelling. Appreciate their stewardship of the cementary as well. Worth your time!

I was already happy, now I'm disappointed and feel angry... They don't want to accept us, but not a school trip. 1 deserved star! Do you want customers or not?

Good place to go to learn about Jewish history prior to world wars. Most information was provided in English as well as German.
