Manchester Jewish Museum
Manchester Jewish Museum, History museum in Manchester, England
Manchester Jewish Museum is a history museum housed in a Grade II listed building featuring Moorish Revival design and exhibits on Jewish culture and heritage. The interior retains original decorative arches and geometric patterns that reflect its former function as a place of worship.
The building was established in 1874 as a synagogue and served the Jewish community as a place of worship for over a century. Its conversion to a museum preserved two centuries of the local Jewish community's history and experiences.
