About Jewish Museum in Prague

Josefov calls for a different pace from the bustle of the Old Town. The Jewish Museum is spread across nearby buildings, with exhibitions, synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery forming a route on foot. The visit presents the Jewish presence beyond the facades.

In the Spanish Synagogue, the gilding and Moorish-inspired designs share your attention with the exhibition on Jewish history in the Czech lands. Allow time for reading and for the spaces of remembrance.
