Joods Museum junior: learning in the Hollander family’s house

Joods Museum junior in Amsterdam is set up as the home of the Hollander family. Through rooms and activities, children get to know Jewish life and customs.

A kitchen to explore

The kosher kitchen is one of the parts mentioned. Supervised baking takes place at set times; this activity has its own hours and does not automatically run throughout the museum day.

Language and music

A study room centred on Hebrew and a music room offer other ways in. The interactive set-up makes touching and joining in part of the visit, guided by the instructions on site.

History too

A talking wall is mentioned as a means of explanation. In this way the programme alternates everyday activities with stories, without children first needing a complete historical overview.

Time your visit to a baking session if your child particularly wants to do that activity.

Before you go

A ticket for Joods Museum plus junior is required.
