Jewish Museum junior
The Jewish Museum features the Jewish Museum junior where children of all ages are encouraged to connect with Jewish culture. The Jewish Museum junior is set up like the home of a Jewish family. Everything in the house is to touch, not just to see. You can learn Hebrew, bake bread in a kosher kitchen and play music together.
Jewish Cultural Quarter
The Jewish Cultural Quarter in the old Jewish neighbourhood in the heart of Amsterdam is home to the Jewish Museum and Jewish Museum junior, the Portuguese Synagogue, Hollandsche Schouwburg and National Holocaust Museum. Grouped together within a square kilometre, these four historic locations house a unique collection that brings to life a history and rich Jewish heritage spanning from 1600 to the present day. The Jewish Cultural Quarter welcomes all visitors, young and old, in search of information, entertainment, beauty, contemplation, growth and inspiration.
The Hollandsche Schouwburg and the National Holocaust Museum are currently closed for renovation.
