Jewish Museum
In 2007 the Jewish Museum celebrated its 75th anniversary with the exciting go-ahead for a major transformation that will provide London with a world class Jewish Museum. This expansion will triple the space at the Museum’s flagship site in Camden Town and bring together all the collections and activities previously divided between its Camden Town and Finchley locations.
The Jewish Museum Development Project will create a cultural and educational resource of national and international importance – and a welcoming and vibrant venue for exhibitions and events. There will be enlarged exhibition galleries, new education facilities and hands-on displays for children and families.
The £9 million scheme will enable the Museum to engage a wide range of audiences through changing exhibitions, lively public programming and outreach. The Museum will build on its valuable work in combating racism and prejudice, promoting interfaith respect and understanding, and contributing to cultural diversity in London and the UK.
The new Museum has been funded through a £4.2million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the largest award to a Jewish communal organisation.
