Museum of Jewish Immigration, Migration museum in São Paulo, Brazil

The Museum of Jewish Immigration displays over 2,000 artifacts brought by immigrants who settled in Brazil throughout different time periods.

The building originated as the Beth El Synagogue in 1928, featuring Byzantine Revival architecture before its transformation into a museum in 2004.

The museum maintains the largest collection of Jewish artifacts in Brazil, created through community donations that document their integration into Brazilian society.

Visitors can access the museum through the Higienópolis-Mackenzie station, with guided tours available in multiple languages during regular opening hours.

The museum features 14,000 family surnames engraved on a wooden wall, representing generations of immigrants who shaped the region.
