Welcome to the Jewish Museum in Prague!
The Jewish Museum in Prague is the third oldest of its kind in the world – not a single building, but a remarkable ensemble of
historic synagogues, monuments, and exhibitions located in the former Jewish Quarter, Josefov, in Prague’s Old Town.
With one ticket, visitors gain access to the most iconic sites of Jewish history and culture:
-> Old-New Synagogue – the oldest active synagogue in Europe
-> Old Jewish Cemetery – one of the most evocative historic burial sites in the world
-> Spanish Synagogue – a stunning example of Moorish Revival architecture
-> Pinkas Synagogue – the second oldest preserved synagogue in Prague, housing a profoundly moving memorial to the Shoah
-> Maisel Synagogue – built by the mayor of the Jewish Town and one of the wealthiest inhabitants of Rudolfine Prague,
Mordechai Maisel
-> Klausen Synagogue – the largest surviving synagogue of the former Prague Ghetto, constructed in the early Baroque
style
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, architecture lover, or curious traveler, this immersive experience offers a profound connection to centuries of Jewish life, resilience, and tradition.

2026, July 13 - August 1906: The Czech lands form part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Prague—still somewhat provincial at the time—seeks to rival the great capitals of Europe. An ambitious redevelopment plan envisages a fundamental transformation of the medieval city into the “Paris of the East”. Josefov, the former Jewish Town, stands in the way.
