Top Things to See at the Jewish Museum in Prague
The Jewish Museum in Prague is not a single building, but a collection of historic sites across the Jewish Quarter. Visitors can enter the Old-New Synagogue, walk among the gravestones of the Old Jewish Cemetery, read the names of Holocaust victims in the Pinkas Synagogue, and admire the richly decorated Spanish Synagogue. Together with exhibitions in the Maisel and Klausen Synagogues and the Ceremonial Hall, these places reveal both famous highlights and lesser-known aspects of Jewish life in Prague.
