Manchester Jewish Museum

Price £6

The Manchester Jewish Museum is a restored synagogue north of Manchester city centre that has displays about Manchester’s Jewish history.

The museum has recently undergone a £6 million restoration project that has doubled the size of the museum.

What to see at the Manchester Jewish Museum

The museum is housed inside Manchester’s oldest synagogue, which was built in the Moorish Revival style by Edward Salomons in 1874.

The museum’s exhibition space has displays about Judaism and the history and culture of Manchester’s Jewish community.

Visiting the Manchester Jewish Museum

The museum is in Cheetham Hill north of the city centre near the Manchester Fort Shopping Park, which is only a couple of minutes north of the museum. The museum is a 20-minute walk north of the city centre and bus routes 42 and 49 stop near the museum with services into central Manchester. If you’re taking the route 42 bus, note that not all route 42 buses go north of Manchester city centre.

Museum entry costs £6, although admission is free with the National Art Pass.

The museum is fully wheelchair-accessible. It features a cafe with a kosher menu.

Most visitors find enough at the museum to keep themselves busy for 1½–2 hours.
