Jewish Museum in Prague

"The Jewish Museum in Prague, established in 1906 by historian Dr. Salomon Hugo Lieben and Dr. August Stein, represents a crucial effort to document and preserve the history, traditions, and customs of the Jewish community in Bohemia and Moravia. It boasts one of the most extensive collections of Judaica globally, featuring around 40,000 artifacts and 100,000 books. This collection is remarkable not just for its size but for its cohesive representation of Jewish life in the integrated territory of Bohemia and Moravia. The museum manages several significant sites in the former Prague ghetto, each housing permanent exhibitions that showcase Jewish history and culture. These sites include: - **Maisel Synagogue** - **Spanish Synagogue** - **Pinas Synagogue** - **Old Jewish Cemetery** - **Klaus Synagogue** - **Ceremonial Hall** (the building of the Prague Funeral Brotherhood) - **Robert Guttmann Gallery** In addition to its exhibitions, the Jewish Museum actively promotes education against antisemitism in the Czech Republic. It offers guided tours conducted by Czech experts at a discounted rate, available on Sundays and public holidays at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Ticket prices are 165 CZK for adults, while children under 6 are free. Children aged 6-15, students, and pensioners can enter for 100 CZK. Tickets must be purchased at the ŽMP Information and Reservation Center located at Maiselova 15, Prague 1. Through these initiatives, the museum aims to foster understanding and combat prejudice within society."

"The Jewish Museum in Prague is one of the oldest and continuously existing Jewish museums in the world. It manages an extensive collection of Judaica and a rich library and archival collection. Most of the exhibits come from the property of Jewish communities and families that were annihilated during the Holocaust. The museum is housed in Prague's synagogues and other Jewish monuments."
