The Jewish Museum London

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.

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...

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!)
