Since the building became redundant through the movement of the Jewish population away from the area, it has been completely restored, returned to its former glory and listed Grade II*. More information about the building’s history.
With a compelling history to tell, the building needed a new purpose and in 1984 it re-opened as a Museum. The Museum now chronicles the lives of Jewish people in Manchester and their contribution to making the city what it is today. The former ladies’ gallery houses the Museum’s permanent displays, in which the history of Manchester’s Jewish community is vividly brought to life.
The Museum now offers a unique learning programme for schools, colleges and other organisations and hosts an exciting exhibition & events programme.
In partnership with Manchester City Council and Greater Manchester Police we are now a Hate Crime Reporting Centre.
