Jewish Museum

#manchestertrip The Manchester Jewish Museum offers a profound exploration of Jewish history and culture within Manchester and beyond. Situated in the Cheetham Hill area, the museum is housed in a meticulously restored Grade II* listed 1874 Spanish and Portuguese synagogue. This architectural gem not only serves as a historical artifact but also as an active space for exhibitions and events.   In 2021, the museum underwent a significant £6 million redevelopment, introducing a modern extension that seamlessly complements the original structure. This expansion includes a new gallery, a vegetarian café, a shop, and a learning studio and kitchen. The museum’s collection boasts over 31,000 items, chronicling the narratives of Jewish migration and settlement in Manchester.
