Description
Formerly the London Museum of Jewish Life, now the home of the social history collections of the Jewish Museum (also at Camden Town). Visitors can explore the history of Jewish immigration and settlement in London, and step back in time to view reconstructions of tailoring and cabinet-making workshops from the Jewish East End. There are hands-on activities for children and a children's treasure trail is available. Holocaust education is a major feature of the Museum's work, with exhibitions and educational programming relating to the Holocaust and the experiences of refugees from Nazism.
