We were in Brussels researching about their Jewish Quarter and found this great museum that included photos of ancient synagogues in Amsterdam. This is part of our Semah de Valencia family investigation.

I am not educated on Jewish history, I visited this museum on the fist Sunday of the month where you can get in for free. I would only say that it is a small one, there is 2 movies you can watch. I guess you can finish it all in 60-90 minutes maximum.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful exhibition on the Jewish community, to do for this part! For the various other exhibitions it remains to be worked on, the house is beautiful and has great potential. (Original) Belle exposition sur la communauté juif, à faire pour cette partie ! Pour les divers autres expositions cela reste a travailler encore la demeure est belle et a un gros potentiel.

(Translated by Google) Entering the museum is an experience in itself. The metal detector is unfortunately a sad result of a cowardly attack. I was fascinated by the permanent collection. First floor was graced with religious Jewish music that immersed me. Temporary exhibition about superheroes was not my thing. The Moroccan exhibition on the upper floor also cost me some trouble. In both cases, the presentation was well thought out. A big compliment for this. (Original) Museum binnenkomen is al een belevenis op zich. De metaaldetector is helaas een triest gevolg van een laffe aanslag. De vaste collectie hield me in de ban. Eerste verdieping werd opgeluisterd met religieuze joodse muziek die me onderdompelde. Tijdelijke tentoonstelling over superheroes was niet mijn ding. Ook de Marokkaanse tentoonstelling op de bovenverdieping kostte me moeite. In beide gevallen was er goed nagedacht over de presentatie. Een dikke pluim hiervoor.

Temporary exhibitions are worth it, the rest it's not at all what you would expect...

Free on 1st Sunday of the month. Museum is fair and a good way to acquaint yourself with Judaism. There are 2 movies as well beside the exhibition. For me, it was not that interesting except that you get to know more about suffering of jews in the past.

They would be benefit from having a hand held recording of some of the artifacts for better understanding.

A wonderful, informative museum with great art! I’m so glad I stopped by. Definitely worth your time.

Staff was very nice and helpful. Lots of art. Amy Winehouse exhibit wasn’t there when I visited, I would have liked that exhibit.

Very nice experience with a great guide for an ephemeral exhibition, she was very helpful, open-minded and knew her subject, it was more than pleasant and worth it! It is more than interesting even if pretty heavy. I totally recommend.

(Translated by Google) Generally friendly and well designed temporary exhibitions. Various subjects. Permanent collection less attractive, but useful for learning the basics of Jewish culture. (Original) Expos temporaires généralement conviviales et bien conçues. Sujets variés. Collection permanente moins attractive, mais utile pour apprendre les rudiments de la culture juive.

Currently closed for renovations (June 2017). I was very surprised to turn up and see the museum closed and two armed soldiers guarding outside. It would be helpful if the museum website could tell visitors when it will be re-opening.

For a city with a lot of Jewish history, the Belgium Jewish Museum is disappointing. The building is not well maintained and the exhibition is not very well curated and old fashioned. For those interested in Jewish history in Benelux, I would recommend the Jewish History Museum in Amsterdam.

(Translated by Google) Great place, too bad the museum is small. (Original) Super endroit, dommage que le musée soit petit.

I loved it. It’s informative and well presented. The most complex topics are explained, like festivals and their origin, in a way that makes understanding very easy for non jews. The temp exhibits when I visited where also special and worthy. I can say despite having read a fair amount about Jewish topics I did learn details about Jewish history in general and Belgian Jews in particular that I didn’t know before, which is great. The personnel were warm, welcoming and helpful. Special for me, was the work of Belgian (or with some Belgian connection) contemporary Jewish artists. I very much enjoyed it.

(Translated by Google) It’s important to spend time visiting the place, it’s full of history and humanity. Several exhibitions are presented. On the ground floor in the first building, there is a contemporary exhibition (painting, painting). On the upper floors, it's the Jewish exhibit. This exhibition is divided into different points; Culture ; life ; people ; values ​​; overseas. The second building is for temporary exhibitions, that's fine but there is a lack of depth, of content. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the premises (lots of dust). (Original) Il est important de consacrer du temps à visiter le lieu, il est chargé d’histoire et d’humanité. Plusieurs expositions sont présentées. Au rez-de-chaussée dans le premier bâtiment, il y a une exposition contemporaine (tableau, peinture). Dans les étages supérieures, c’est l’exposition juive. Cette exposition se partage en différents points ; la culture ; la vie ; les gens ; les valeurs ; outre-mer. Le deuxième bâtiment est pour les expositions temporaires, c’est bien mais il y a un manque de profondeur, de contenu. Attention, à la propreté des lieux (beaucoup de poussières).

Nice museum for a short visit.

A Must visit while in Brussels!

Beautiful museum with fascinating exhibits sharing Belgian Jewish culture. Also some interesting art pieces. While we were there there was a special exhibit of photography that was excellent, so I expect the usually have interesting special exhibits.

Good museum friendly staff ,sadly their english was not the best but the information boards are in english and interesting to follow

Great exhibition of photographs by Mathieu Pernot at the moment. Heart-wrenching, especially as Afghanistan descends further into chaos and violence

Disappointing. Feels like a personal collection of jew artifacts, not very interactive. Interesting video explanation. Very boring museum

Nice museum.

Small but nice permanent exhibit; the temporary Erwin Blumenfeld was delightful!

(Translated by Google) Shalom (Original) Shalom

Very nice place, breathing with history.

Many stairs, with a selected information about the life of the jews and maroc

Expo Amy Winehouse. Quite limited expo. Not so great value for money

Great friendly people #supersweet and motivated boss #Thankyou

Loved learning about the emigration experience throughout the history of Brussels. Excellent museum!

(Translated by Google) This museum has concrete plans to move to a more modern building. We can only applaud that. Now our visit left us a bit hungry. Especially the temporary Lewy exhibition was beautiful. Small is beautiful. The upper floors showed various (permanent) exhibitions, including one on Jewish rites / holidays. This one was quite interesting, but the setup was very museum style from a distant past. But we are sure this will be better in the new museum. The reception was correct. Not a negative experience like some reviewers had here. (Original) Dit museum heeft concrete plannen om te zich in een moderner gebouw te gaan vestigen. Dat kunnen we alleen maar toejuichen. Nu liet ons bezoek ons toch wat op onze honger zitten. Vooral de tijdelijke Lewy tentoonstelling was mooi. Klein maar fijn. De bovenverdiepingen toonden diverse (permanente) tentoonstellingen, waaronder een over de joodse riten/feestdagen. Deze was best interessant, alleen was de opzet wel erg museumstijl uit een ver verleden. Maar we zijn er zeker van dat dit in het nieuwe museum beter zal zijn. De ontvangst was correct. Geen negatieve ervaring zoals sommige reviewers hier hadden.

(Translated by Google) Interesting and educational (Original) Interessant en leerrijk

(Translated by Google) Interesting museum, handsome building too. Only now not accessible for wheelchair patients I think. You must inquire! (Original) Interessant museum, ook knap gebouw. Alleen nu niet toegankelijk voor rolstoel patiënten denk ik. Moet je navragen!

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum! Too bad it is closed (confinement) we can contemplate artists or subjects that touch on Jewishness and its history. (Original) Très beau musée ! Dommage.qu il soit fermé (confinement) on peut contempler des artistes ou des sujets qui touchent a la judaïté et son histoire.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) I have a jewish artifact that I would like to evaluate if possible I send You have the picture (Original) لديا قطعة أثرية يهودية أود تقييم لها إذا كان ممكن أبعث لكم الصوره

(Translated by Google) a museum which is above all designed for school visits. Not very interesting and very general information for individual visitors. Some beautiful works of painting on the 1st floor. (Original) un musée qui est avant tout aménagé pour des visites scolaires. Peu intéressant et informations très globales pour des visiteurs individuels. Quelques beaux œuvres de peinture au 1er étage.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting Jewish museum to see if you are passing through the Belgian capital. This place is full of incredible wealth (Original) Musée juif très intéressant à aller voir si vous êtes de passage dans la capitale belge. Cet endroit regorge d'une richesse incroyable

(Translated by Google) Videos, writings, more writings and videos ... then sometimes, an object of the time. Then, I saw a family of Jewish people there taking a group photo with all smiles and thumbs up in front of the wall of the deportees' photos, I have no words! (Original) Des vidéos, des écrits, encore des écrits et des vidéos...puis parfois, un objet d'époque.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting exhibitions on various aspects of Jewish culture and (also more recent) Jewish history in Belgium. Security checks at the entrance are even stricter than those at the airport, which has unfortunately been necessary since there was a fatal terrorist attack there. When you get in there is a friendly welcome. The museum itself is small and manageable, when I was there there were only a few visitors. So you can let the exhibits take effect in a devout atmosphere. However, the whole ambience also looks a bit dusty. A refresh and a move away from the predominant display of objects behind showcases would be desirable, as there are many new approaches today. There is a display of many interesting books on the first or second floor, but you have to buy them elsewhere. (Original) Sehr interessante Ausstellungen zu diversen Aspekten der jüdischen Kultur und (auch neueren) jüdischen Geschichte in Belgien. Die Sicherheitskontrolle am Eingang sind noch strenger als die am Flughafen, das ist leider notwendig, seitdem es dort einen tödlichen Terroranschlag gab. Wenn man reingekommen ist, gibt es aber einen freundlichen Empfang. Das Museum selbst ist klein und überschaubar, als ich da war gab es nur wenige Besucher. So kann man in andächtiger Atmosphäre die Exponate auf sich wirken lassen. Allerdings wirkt das ganze Ambiente auch etwas verstaubt. Eine Auffrischung und ein weg von der überwiegenden Darstellung von Objekten hinter Vitrinen wäre wünschenswert, da gibt es doch heute viele neue Ansätze. In der ersten oder zweiten Etage gibt es noch eine Auslage vieler interessanter Bücher, kaufen muss man sie sich aber woanders.

(Translated by Google) Very fascinating tour. We have had a very varied and open view of Judaism. The stereotypes have been largely refuted. The guide was very open to questions and stories. Definitely recommended as a school trip! (Original) Zeer boeiende rondleiding. We hebben een heel gevarieerd en open beeld gekregen van het Judaïsme. De stereotypen zijn grotendeels weerlegd. De gids stond heel open voor vragen en verhalen. Zeker aan te raden als schooluitstap!

(Translated by Google) I did not like it very much. The one who sells the tickets was grumpy, as if angry with life. (Original) No me gustó mucho. El que vende los ticket estaba malhumorado, como enfadado con la vida.
