Fodor's Review:

This museum gives a comprehensive history of the Jewish people in London from Norman times, though the bulk of the exhibits date from the end of the 17th century (when Cromwell repealed the laws against Jewish settlement) and later. The Ceremonial Art Gallery holds a collection of rare pieces, and the Audio Visual Gallery follows London Jewish life from cradle to grave. At this writing, the Jewish Museum was closed for a major redevelopment until October 2009. The plans include integrating all of the museum's collections (including the social history exhibitions and tape archives of the Holocaust, in the words of survivors, previously housed in Finchley) under one roof, along with a major new gallery for temporary exhibitions, a café, an auditorium, and a new education facility. Check the Web site for details.
