Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki, Jewish museum in central Thessaloniki, Greece.

The Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki displays collections of religious artifacts, tombstones, family heirlooms, historical clothing, and photographs in a restored 1904 building.

The museum opened in 2001 to document the Sephardic Jewish community that developed in Thessaloniki following their arrival from Spain in 1492.

The museum maintains a library containing important texts printed in Thessaloniki from the 16th to 20th century, showcasing Sephardic Jewish traditions and language.

Visitors can access digital databases, participate in educational programs, and explore the Holocaust Victims Room displaying 27,000 names inscribed on marble surfaces.

The building survived the Great Fire of 1917 and served as both the Bank of Athens and offices for the Jewish newspaper L'Independent.
