Jewish Cultural Quarter Amsterdam
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.
Tweets by Jewish Cultural Quarter AmsterdamGrouped 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.
Jewish Cultural Quarter exhibitions inspire a wide range of visitors throughout the year: families with a Jewish background will find recognition and connection while non-Jewish visitors have a unique opportunity to learn about a different culture.
The Jewish Cultural Quarter is a place to marvel, to identify and to remember. Start a good conversation or a healthy discussion. Discover all sides of the Jewish story. The Jewish Cultural Quarter is open to everyone.
