Welcome to the Jewish Museum in Prague!

The Jewish Museum in Prague is the third oldest of its kind in the world – not a single building, but a remarkable ensemble of historic synagogues, monuments, and exhibitions located in the former Jewish Quarter, Josefov, in Prague’s Old Town.

With the Prague Jewish Town Ticket, visitors gain access to the most iconic sites of Jewish history and culture, including:

->  Old-New Synagogue – the oldest active synagogue in Europe. 
->  Old Jewish Cemetery – one of the most evocative historic burial sites in the world
->  Spanish Synagogue – a stunning example of Moorish Revival architecture

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, architecture lover, or curious traveler, this immersive experience offers a profound connection to centuries of Jewish life, resilience, and tradition.

Three rare stolen books return to Prague — plus a major acquisition

In 2025, the Jewish Museum in Prague significantly enriched its library collection. Three printed volumes originally belonging to the Library of the Jewish Religious Community in Prague—stolen during the Second World War—returned to the city after decades. In addition, the museum acquired an exceptionally valuable Venetian edition of Sefer Tif’eret Yisra’el (1599) by the renowned Prague rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel (the Maharal).

Thirty-Nine Precious Synagogue Textiles Find Their Way Home after More Than Eighty Years

February 18, 2026 – The Federation of Jewish Communities in the Czech Republic, in close cooperation with the Jewish Museum in Prague, is working to right a long-standing historical wrong. A remarkable group of synagogue textiles—part of the cultural heritage of Jewish communities in what is now Greece, looted by the Nazis during the Second World War—is now being returned to its country of origin. The unique relic of the Greek Sephardic Jewish community was received on 17 February 2026 by Zanet Battinou, Director of the Jewish Museum of Greece, from representatives of the Federation of Jewish Communities in the Czech Republic and the Jewish Museum in Prague.
