Jewish Museum of Rome

The Jewish Museum of Rome, located beneath Rome’s Great Synagogue, traces over 2,000 years of Jewish life in the city through artifacts, art, and documents. For traveling families, an in-person visit can connect Roman history, religious studies, and World War II in one place; for others, online exhibits and resources offer a glimpse into this long, continuous community. The museum was created to preserve and share the story of Rome’s Jewish population, including periods of flourishing and persecution. Admission fees are typical for European museums, and digital materials extend learning at little or no additional cost.
