Jewish Museum London
Former museum of British Jewish life
The Jewish Museum London was a museum of British Jewish life, history and identity. The museum was situated in Camden Town in the London Borough of Camden, north London. It was a place for people of all faiths to explore Jewish history, culture, and heritage. The museum had a dedicated education team, with a programme for schools, community groups and families. Charles, Prince of Wales (later King Charles III) was a patron of the museum.[1]
The events, programmes and activities at the museum aimed to provoke questions, challenge prejudice, and encourage understanding.
The museum closed during the covid-19 pandemic in the UK and reopened for two days a week in July 2021, but visitor numbers and income did not recover.[2] The museum closed indefinitely on 30 July 2023, loaning collections to other heritage organisations,[3] intending to sell the building and move elsewhere taking up to five years to plan and finance the move.[4]
