Ceremonial Hall of the Prague Jewish Burial Society, Jewish Museum exhibition hall in Josefov, Czech Republic
The Ceremonial Hall features a neo-Romanesque architectural design with detailed columns, ornate grilles, and distinctive stone elements throughout the structure.
Built between 1911 and 1912 by architects A. Gabriel and J. Gerstl, this hall replaced an older building that served the Prague Jewish community.
The exhibition space presents Jewish burial traditions and rituals, including the practice of tahara, the ceremonial preparation of deceased community members.
The museum welcomes visitors from 9:00 to 16:30 during winter months and extends hours until 18:00 in summer, with entry tickets at 500 CZK.
Fifteen Baroque paintings from 1772 illustrate the customs of the Prague Burial Society, documenting practices at the Old Jewish Cemetery.
