Jewish Historical Museum
The Jewish Historical Museum is a modern museum focused on Judaism that is located in four monumental synagogues near the Waterlooplein, in the heart of the old Jewish quarter. In three fixed settings the history and culture of the Jews in the Netherlands become visible here. With large paintings, small drawings, utensils, photographs, film and modern 3D presentations, this museum can justifiably be called a multimedia museum that interests both young and old. In addition to the three fixed settings the Jewish Historical Museum contains a Children’s Museum, and there are always one or two temporary exhibitions.

JHM Children’s Museum
The Jewish Hollander family lives in the JHM Children’s Museum. You are heartily welcome at their home. The Hollander family cares for the Jewish tradition, each family member in its own way, sometimes seriously, sometimes with a wink. And you can do all sorts of things there. Braiding bread in the kitchen, learning Hebrew in the study or making music together in the music room. The friend of the family, Max de Matze, shows the way to everyone and makes every visit into a party!

Portuguese Synagogue
Directly across the Jewish Historical Museum the magnificent Portuguese Synagogue from 1675 is hidden as an immense square building. In Amsterdam synagogues were allowed to be visible in the seventeenth century, but the entrance should not attract the attention. Therefore there are several annexes around the enormous house of prayer that hide the doors from view. The synagogue remains to be a somewhat mysterious building to many visitors. Once inside the synagogue they are rewarded by the impressive beauty of a synagogue that is still being used and of which the seventeenth century interior is fully intact.

In the heart of Amsterdam you will find a number of
impressive Jewish monumental buildings. A short walk through the old Jewish quarter will lead you along the culturally prominent Jewish Historical Museum and its stimulating Children's Museum, the imposing Portuguese Synagogue and the intrusive monument The Hollandsche Schouwburg (the Dutch theatre).
