Padua Jewish Heritage Museum is a jewish museum in Padua, Italy.
Guided tours available in italian, english, french and german. The museum offers a video introduction to the Jewish history of the city, a big Judaica collection, tour of the ex-Ghetto, synagogues and cemeteries.
Located in the historical centre of Padua, namely in the ancient Ghetto area, the Museum narrates the events and rituals of the Jewish Community of Padua from its origins to the present. Its premises are in the first and largest Ashkenazi Synagogue founded in 1522, used until May 1943 when a group of Italian fascists set it to fire.
Its restoration has given us back a fascinating space enriched by the women’s galleries mark and the 19th century flight of stairs.
