A building to reflect on
The museum description mentions photographs and objects about the Jewish history of Bourtange. View them in connection with the building: what questions does a museum in a synagogue raise that you might not ask in an ordinary exhibition hall?
A ritual bath in the display
The association also describes a reconstruction of a mikveh, a Jewish ritual bath. For this part, look up the explanation before you view it merely as an architectural detail. Its use gives a space meaning.
Give this part its own time
A visit to the fortress can take in many subjects. Consciously set aside a separate moment for the synagogue. Which person, photograph or everyday object makes the story concrete for you?
Before you go
The Synagogaal Museum is a separate part of Vesting Bourtange. Check the museum schedule and the ticket conditions.
