The museum is located on the ground floor and is easy to access while exploring the historical structure. Visitors can see temporary exhibitions about Jewish culture during their visit and explore educational resources available at the site.
The collection contains personal items from Jewish families who lived in Bukovina between the late 18th and early 20th centuries. These intimate objects offer insight into the daily lives of people whose stories might otherwise go untold.
