Jewish Museum, London

About

The Jewish Museum London was a museum of British Jewish life, history and identity. The museum was situated in Camden Town in the London Borough of Camden, north London. It was a place for people of all faiths to explore Jewish history, culture, and heritage.

The museum had a dedicated education team, with a programme for schools, community groups and families. Charles, Prince of Wales (later King Charles III) was a patron of the museum. The events, programmes and activities at the museum aimed to provoke questions, challenge prejudice, and encourage understanding.

The museum closed during the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK and reopened for two days a week in July 2021, but visitor numbers and income did not recover. The museum closed their Camden site to operate as a Museum without Walls, lending collections to other heritage organisations and leading learning programmes out in the local community, intending to sell the building and move elsewhere taking up to five years to plan and finance the move.
