Jewish Museum
Hebrew heritage institution
A Jewish Museum is an institution dedicated to preserving and exhibiting Jewish history, art, culture, and religious heritage.
Such museums may focus on local Jewish communities, the Holocaust, ancient artifacts, or contemporary Jewish life.
Major examples exist in New York, Berlin, and other cities with significant Jewish populations: We visited the Jewish Museum to see the exhibit on immigration.
