What a fantastic museum ! It just brings everything to life. Lots of sadness but they have gone to great depths to cover every aspect of Judaism. I work for Uniting Friends and I took a group along with me today. They're adults with learning disabilities, but one elderly member was taken back I think to his childhood seeing the Shabbat table laid out and the Seder plate. He started reminiscing and speaking some Hebrew as he remembered it.A great place to go to and the staff were so helpful ! We were offered a room for the 7 of us so that we could eat our packed lunch. How very kind of them I would highly recommend a visit, well worth the cost to get in.A lot was learnt today by the group.
loved it , small gallery but Defo worth a visit. really nice staff and cafe at end is worth a visit spent a few very happy hours there
I visited on 5th April with my daughter as being an Amy Winehouse fan I wanted to go on the day when there was a Curator's talk. All the staff were lovely people, very friendly and they were happy to chat to us about Amy. The Amy Winehouse exhibition was very tastefully done and the curator's talk was very informative. I loved the Love Is A Losing Game exhibit. I would like to thank Alex and Riva for sharing Amy's personal belongings with us, I feel privalaged to have been able to see them. I particularly liked the pink ballet shoes as they looked so worn and used that it was obvious she loved wearing them. I even felt a little emotional when I saw them. Of course we also visited the rest of the museum and also found this very informative and quite moving in parts. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience and I would recommend it to anybody. Once again thanks to all the lovely staff, Joanne Rosenthal for her talk, and Alex and Riva Winehouse.
