Manchester Jewish Museum manchester

OK if you're interested in Manchester Jewish history. Not good for wheelchair users, but is about to be renovated and improved.

Sorry but I must review this place as I experienced it. I knew it was due to move to new location in July what I did not expect was to have to pay to be in the middle of a health and safety issue. Scaffolding on the floor of the synagogue. Nothing to buy. Exhibits have been removed or packed away... This place really should not be charging at the moment. And place signs around informing people of the health and safety issue.....In fact it should be closed now if only for the safety of the public.

Very interesting experience. A warm welcome and a knowledgeable guide. Good luck and all the best with the new project.

Currently under renovation so little to see. It is planned that lift will be built to allow wheelchair users to access the upstairs. They currently can not

Will be when better in 2 years' time!

Very welcoming, interesting and educational. Cafe excellent. Both are very worth a visit

Very welcoming staff and volunteers, lots to see and listen to in a relatively small exhibition space, lovely restored synagogue. Cafe excellent too. Could easily spend 3-4 hours here and not exhaust everything. Suggestion: an introductory guided tour of the synagogue would be useful to people of non Jewish faith. Shame about the surrounding area, Manchester City Council need to put some more effort in here.

The Jewish Museum is one of the best ways to spend any morning or afternoon. It’s jam-packed with so much local Jewish heritage and really gives you a great insight to Manchester’s wonderful Jewish community and how it formed in Cheetham Hill & spread across North Manchester. With physical objects, written stories, videos and audio monologues, there are many different ways to learn and take in the information. If you need a hand with anything; the extremely knowledgable volunteers are on hand to help with a wealth of knowledge. If they aren’t sure on a question, they won’t mess you around. If they can they’ll direct you to someone who knows, if not, they do their best to help. I’m 26 and last visited when I was in year 6 (10/11 years old). The new addition is absolutely top class but it was still the same building remember from 15 years ago. So they’ve really kept to the original museum and the heritage which is really nice to see. I brought my 4 year old and she absolutely loved every minute of our visit. 100% recommended and will be back many, many times!

Well set out displays and clear audio conversations. Great vegetarian cafe with flavoursome food.

Myself and a group of friends really enjoyed our time at the museum . Friendly staff and very knowledgeable . Positive experience
