Open Synagogues Day

Prague

19. 04. 2026 09:00

Free entry to all sites of the museum complex.

The Jewish Museum in Prague is commemorating the 120th anniversary of its founding this year. To mark this occasion, we cordially invite you to Josefov for the Synagogue Open Day. This extraordinary day offers a unique opportunity to visit the entire exceptional complex of monuments in the Prague Jewish Town free of charge.

A rich accompanying program also awaits you throughout the day: music and dance, a new exhibition by photographer Karel Cudlín, a lecture on Jewish vegetarian cuisine, and a series of themed guided tours. Families with children will also find plenty to enjoy — an interactive scavenger hunt and theatre performances for younger visitors have been prepared.

Come and celebrate 120 years of the museum with us and discover the unique stories told by Prague’s Jewish monuments!

The event is held with the support of the Jewish Community of Prague.
