Jewish Historical Museum

the jewish historical museum is located at the heart of amsterdam's former jewish quarter. although not as famous as the bigger art museums, it is in fact one of the city's most acclaimed museums due to its incisive programming. housed in four former ashkenazi synagogues dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, its permanent exhibition reflects the versatility of judaism in the past and present. it also has its own dedicated children's museum with exceptional educational facilities.
