Joods Museum: stories, rituals and art

The Joods Museum in Amsterdam presents Jewish religion, history and culture in the Netherlands. Personal stories, rituals and art are brought together in a synagogue complex.

An object in use

The Rintel hanukkiah is mentioned as an example from the collection. With ritual objects, pay attention to the explanation of how they are used, so that material and form are not detached from meaning.

Different stories

A culture cannot be summed up by one person or period. Take time for the individual perspectives in the presentation and see how the museum sets similarities and differences side by side.

More venues nearby

The museum is part of the Joods Cultureel Kwartier (Jewish Cultural Quarter). Combining them can be interesting, but other venues have their own hours and visiting conditions, so do not plan them as one continuous route.

Before you go

Check the current holiday calendar and any shortened hours. The general daily opening has exceptions on Jewish holidays and special dates.
