Multimedia Centre

The Multimedia Centre is an important resource for the Jewish Museum’s new office building – it is located in the basement of the building. It provides visitors from the Czech Republic and abroad with services, both in traditional and electronic form, focusing on Judaism and the history of the Jews.

The Multimedia Centre’s small, thematically arranged Multimedia library comprises dictionaries, encyclopaedic material (on general topics and Judaica), publications on Israel, Jewish history, art, Bible studies and liturgy, Bohemian studies and Prague history, books published by the Jewish Museum, directories of museums, libraries and galleries, and journals (Rosh Chodesh, Judaica Bohemiae, Jewish Yearbook and other Judaistic periodicals).
