Židovské muzeum v Praze branches

The Jewish Museum has been here for you for almost 120 years. You can visit the world-famous Old Jewish Cemetery from the 15th century, the Maisel and Spanish Synagogue or the Shoah Memorial in the Pinkas Synagogue. You can also visit the Old Synagogue, where legend has it that the remains of the Golem are hidden.

The Jewish cemetery was founded in 1680 as a plague burial ground by the Prague Jewish community. It is an important artistic and historical monument. It is the so-called first Israeli cemetery in Olšany.

We manage a cemetery founded in the first half of the 15th century, one of the best preserved monuments of the Prague Jewish town. The cemetery was the location for the filming of Maharal - The Secret of the Talisman and Encounters in Prague.

We operate a synagogue which you will find in close proximity to the Old Jewish Cemetery. We offer exhibitions of Jewish traditions and customs. In its time it was the largest synagogue in the ghetto.

We operate the first part of the exhibition History of Jews in Bohemia and Moravia from the beginning of settlement to the beginning of emancipation.
