Musée d'art et d'histoire du Judaïsme

France is home to the world's third-largest Jewish community, after Israel and the United States. The Jewish presence here dates back over 2000 years. That's just one of the many reasons to explore the Musée d'art et d'histoire du Judaïsme (mahJ). Located in Paris's Marais district - where Jews lived as far back as the Middle Ages - it presents one of the world's finest collections of religious objects and works of art in the majestic setting of a 17th-century mansion. The permanent exhibition traces the history of the Jews of France, Europe and North Africa, through their art and heritage. Its many temporary exhibitions, auditorium events and educational activities make it one of Paris's major cultural landmarks.
