Fantastic museum. You do not have to be Jewish to enjoy this museum.

First time going to this museum and it was a great experience! Its a nice 3 floors with different themes. 1st floor is photography, 2nd floor is the exhibit of Freuds daughter Louise Bourgeois, and the 3rd floor is dedicated to Jewish heritage which was very interesting to see and learn. Very nice museum and its free on Saturdays. Staff is really welcoming and courteous as you come inside.

The Louise Bourgeois exhibit was DARK. I had no idea how toutured that poor woman was. Definitely worth going to but was ALOT to take in.

Nice museum! Currently only the 3rd floor is open, therefore I didn’t spend as much time there as I thought I could.But great is that you can reserve your entry time slot for free and enjoy the museum.

The exhibition Afterlives is a memorable experience. Small but incredibly intense. You cant miss it!!!! It will stay with you among your greatest cultural trips ....

Though only the 2nd and 3rd floors are currently open to the public, now is a perfect time to visit this cultural treasure because the crowds are very less. They have amassed an amazing collection of art and objects of daily life. A must-visit for tourists and locals alike.

I enjoyed the museum. The exhibit of the permanent collection artifacts was great. I especially liked the hanukkah lamp collection, the Taxonomy exhibit and all of the artwork. The Benguit (sp.) collection of ancient artifacts was also very interesting

Great museum with many meaningful exhibitions. Though is has menorahs, holocaust artifacts, art, mixed media, sculptures, it does not portray the history as much as the art. So I would say it should be more focusing on history as It name does not reflect the fact that it is mainly art.

The Jewish Museum has reopened but you need to make a reservation in advance. Go to their website and reserve a day and a time. It’s very easy to arrange and well worth it. When we were there, we felt as if we were the only invited guests at the museum. While their Russ and Daughters restaurant is presently closed, all the exhibits and their gift shop are open to the public.

Saw Freuds Daughter, Louise Bourgeois here and it was excellent. The curatorial commentary was insightful and the show was well presented. And the museum itself is quite lovely.

Relatively small museum where you can see everything in about an hour. Free admission on Saturdays! Interesting pieces that span time, were salvaged from the war, and new work by contemporary artists like Hadar Gad.

Honestly, this was a little disappointing. I felt that the traveling exhibit was not my cup of tea. The other museum pieces were similar to what Ive seen in larger synagogues. There are a few masterpieces, however, that dont disappoint, and for that reason, a four star rating is justified.

The photography exhibit was rather mundane. Many of the photos look like they should have been on The Cutting Room floor. Hardly inspiring. Im sure you could do better

Jewish Museum is free on Saturday. Times admission reservations. Exhibitions are always interesting and well curated.

Really enjoyable museum. My sister and I went and really enjoyed it and felt it displayed varied work. I would recommend to a friend.

Well àrranged displays of great interest. Courteous staff

Nice, small museum near Central Park with a lot of materials on Jewish culture and history, as well as some other art. Its free on Saturdays, and worth a look.

Interesting exhibits. Beautiful building. Lovely gift shop. Russ and Daughters is not yet open. Will have to return at a later date to enjoy.

Maybe it was unfortunate timing, but there wasn’t really much actual judaica on display. I did love the display of Menorahs and other jewish artifacts from Eastern Europe and Ukraine on the third floor, but that was about it. The second floor was about Freud’s daughter, which personally I couldn’t connect to. There was no exhibition on the first floor, they hadn’t set it up yet. It honestly feels like they put more into the gift shop then into the rest of the museum. I will come back next time I’m visiting New York, hoping that it will be a better experience.

Wonderful exhibits and experience. I would recommend listening to the audio tour on your cell phone while there.

Excellent bite sized show. Matisseand Marc paintings worth the trip.

The Louise Bourgeois exhibit was really provocative, eye-opening, even upsetting in the way great art can be.The curation was brilliant. Id never seen her work shown like this before.See it!

Nice exhibits. Well doneNot overdone. You can see almost everything in 2 hours.

My first time in the museum. Love Rachel Feinstein exhibit and the museum in general is pretty interesting. I would recommend it.

Interesting, well-curated shows. A beautiful building and Russ & Daughters is a treat.

An incredible museum! We had a great time there. It contains art from many time periods and of a variety of art forms. We were also pleasantly surprised that they have some suggestions for what to do with kids, and it included some tasks and drawings that children can recreate throughout the museum.

Wonderful place to visit great exhibit on Stolen painting during holocaust.

Very unique and interesting museum. Has beautiful collection of Menorah from all over the world.

Great museum!! Incredible exhibitions with thoughtful curation. free admission on Saturday (not sure if it’s every Saturday or just first Saturday of the month)

As always, excellent exhibition and helpful staff.

Great time. You can get through most of the museum quickly.Saturday’s are FREE!

When I visitied, the first and second floor were closed. Only the third floor was open. The arts and paintings were very great. This place seemed to focus both on artifacts of Jewish history, and on modern and contemporary art.

Very nice muzeum.

They always have great exhibitions.

A bit different set up, but a nice visit.

The Leonard Cohen exhibit is great. Space is clean and well managed. Some of the museum staff is friendly, some are not. Theres a Russ & Daughters cafe/market in the basement.

Very good must not forget.

An amazing collection, a most beautiful place. The building itself is wonderful, let alone how carefully curated is the collection. I spent most of my visit on the Leonard Cohen Exhibit, A crack in Everything, which is among my most valued museum experiences ever. The gifth shop is amazing - and everyone was so kind! A must-see in NYC.

Wonderful exhibit on the German theft of Jewish owned art.

They have a interested art and Jewish Hanukkah and painting.

Very lovely museum. The third floor is the only floor currently open. The museum is free on Saturdays right now. We had a really nice visit.

A great museum! This was a place I wasnt aware of until I was walking between other locations and made the decision to visit, the collections are great and is now a place I would love to go back for multiple visits.

Great way to discover jewish art and culture. Free on Saturdays

Very interesting to the museum. Everyone who is interested in the story, I definitely recommend visiting!

Great museum. Their environment & collection offer contemplation time.

Loved this museum. The kids did art pieces. The restaurant was the best!

There is very nice art that made by Jewish artist (Sach as Marc Shagal). The picture from the thread floor, about Jewish art.

Come for the Bris (which will include the rabbi giving suction and herpes to an infant) stay for the “white” supremacy that IS Zionism.

Not enough Judica. Limited Jewish Artists...Way too many miscellanous phptos.

Gentle, happy staff and a brilliant curation makes this museum a must visit. Just $18 for an adult or free on Saturday?? Its a small museum but theres so many great works to ponder over.

Visited this museum pre-Covid and really enjoyed it. They had a Leonard Cohen exhibit at the time which was extremely interesting. The rest of the museum was nice as well. I briefly looked around the restaurant but it was not open at the time I was there. I would definitely go back at some point.

Only the third floor was open due to the pandemic, but it was still worth going. Some beautiful art and history. Its free entrance and only takes about an hour to go through.

The staff was a bit terse. The museum itself is less accessible to non-Jews. Still, theres some interesting artwork.

Anyone else felt they are extremely uncomfortable with kids presence? First time ever to get this feeling with my 4 years old daughter. They keep following you just because you have a kid.I am wondering why it is mentioned in this place’s description “good for kids”?? They are not kids friendly

Lovely museum with a nice collection. I visited during the Leonard Cohen exhibit, which was really special. The gift shop offers a good collection of Judaica and the deli is delicious!

Amazes to see all the arts and Craft! Loved the visit

I visited the museum during the Jewish holidays in September and it was free.I didnt like some of the exhibits but some were very interesting.

I will go back, when it is fully opened. Its quirky in a way. Very jewish, but not too jewish.

A great museum with very engaging exhibitions. I recently went on a Saturday to see the Leonard Cohen show. Admission is free on Saturdays and it was busy. But despite the crowds, it was an intimate and powerful experience.

Great museum with respect to the past and with an eye for the future!

Converted mansion holding great exhibitions. Incredible judeaica in museum store

Good museum thats free on Saturdays and part of Bank of America Museums on Us. Sadly the museum is quite small and when I went one of the floors was closed due to renovation so it was a very short visit. Still had a good time and cant complain too much since it was free. Friendly staff is also a nice plus.

Iconic NYC museum covering Jewish art & history ~ Stunning collection in historic UES building overlooking Fifth Avenue

Lovely, large collection of Judaica spanning centuries and continents. This museum is an important educational and culturally enriching resource which I hope more people take advantage of.

They have a great combination of historical pieces and modern art. Each floor has a unique layout so there will definitely be something to enjoy.

If you go to A Crack in Everything expecting Cohen manuscripts and ephemera ala the Tolkien exhibit at the Morgan Library, youll be disappointed.But if you are looking for room-sized concert videos of Cohen, deep voices in dark rooms, holy vibrations of Alleluia through your bones ... this is for you.Tributes to Cohen by various artists and non-artists may shock, offend, tickle, or move you. Allow two to three hours at least to take it all in, especially since the wait for the blue room/Depression Chamber may be long. (If the line is short, join it. The wait is five minutes per person.)I loved the hundred-plus self portraits with the accompanying humming in the walls; the humming room; the the blue room; the concert room. But then, I loved Cohen.

Great Issac mizrahi exhibit

Cool collection. Good interpretation. Always my hallmark of a good museum.

Very interesting and educational, although it is only one floor available.

Staff was less than friendly.

The place could be more fun.

All very interesting!

Always great exhibits especially around a holiday. This one being Chanukah.

Wonderful exhibition

The Leonard Cohen exhibit was one of the best curated audiovisual museum exhibitions ever. Worth at least 2 hours of your time.

Nice little museum, free on Saturdays

Went on a Tuesday afternoon to see the Pierre Chareau exhibit. It was very well-done and extremely I formative and in-depth for a relatively small exhibit. It was the only one open at the museum at the time. I enjoyed the exhibit very much and would go back again.

Its nice place

The museum for Jewish Art is really nice, it hold different exhibits of Jewish artistic endeavors. The staff is nice and the its easy to go around and enjoy it. The only down side and its a big one is the restaurant downstairs, we were there on Saturday and it is extremely over price. It a little bit rude I think to charge $55 per person for brunch (!) Not even lunch. I would recommend to eat before or after

The Jewish Museum is a first class art museum that houses a great collection of art, which pays tribute to the rich culture and history of the Jewish people.The Jewish Museum is located in the Felix M. Warburg mansion, the former residence of Felix M. Warburg, a German born banker and philanthropist and a member of the Warburg banking family.During our visit at the museum, my wife and I enjoyed examining the art featured in the Scenes from the Collection exhibition. We were impressed by the beauty and creativity of the Jewish paintings, sculptures and Jewish cultural art.Both my wife and I always enjoyed viewing the art featured in the Rachel Feinstein exhibit. What caught our attention were the well crafted figurines and the gorgeously designed wallpaper, Panorama Of Rome.Both my wife and I very much enjoyed our visit of the Jewish Museum and we recommend for everyone to take the time to visit and view the museum’s outstanding collection of great works of art.

That Leonard Cohen exhibit plus Russ & Daughters combo? Get outta here... Top notch.

No speaking French, theres more

Great museum with cool exhibitions. Its free on Saturdays and you can wander trough central park to get there or after you are done

Great collection and gift shop. Chanukiah collection during holidays is a must.

Saturday is free. Nice place to see and learn about Jewish History.

Very disappointing oldfashioned Museum, Definitely not for kids or families.

So interesting 🤗🙏

I have enjoyed my visit. For flexible individuals with low budget: donation entry every Thursday from 5pm.

The Leonard Cohen exhibit was truly amazing ! It seriously felt as though he was there and watching from the great beyond. The large first room had mixed images flashing on 3 of the 4 walls of him and it felt as though he was there watching all of us! Truly amazing exhibit! They did a first rate job of show casing a wonderfully complex gentleman! Well done JM!

One of the best museums in the city!! The former mansion has stunningly beautiful architectural details and fabulous exhibits. Free on Saturdays, though the gift shop and the period-decorated deli in the basement are closed then.

Fun and varied exhibits. Small enough that you can see everything, big enough to be worth the price of admission. If you go Saturday there is even free admission- thanks to ancient Jewish traditions. Check out Russ & Daughters outpost in the basement for a bagel with a schmear or another savory delicious traditional with a twist treat.

Interesting mix of old and new

The Jewish Museum is a museum in Manhattan, on the museum mile devoted to Jewish Culture . As it describes itself on its website it is a museum at the intersection of art and Jewish culture for people of all backgrounds.The building where the museum is located was a mansion owned by Mr. Warburg, a Jewish philanthropist in the early 1900s. It worth visiting the museum just to see the building.The artistic works in the museum have in the view of the museum docents a connection to Jewish Culture in the sense that either the artist is Jewish and/or the work has a Jewish theme. The connection to Judaism of some of the work is tenuous in my opinion .The other part of the museum is devoted to Jewish ceremonial objects dating back in many cases hundreds of years. This includes things like Shofars, Torah Covers and many other items. Personally I enjoyed this part more.Besides the exhibits, the museum have various programs and lectures - I recently attended a lecture at the museum by 2 Jewish writers talking about their books. Whether or not you are Jewish, and however much you know about Judaism the museum is worth a trip.There is a kosher restaurant in the basement of the museum called Russ and Daughters. It serves various diary dishes and is supposed to be very good (I havent eaten there myself). It is on the expensive side, however, even by Manhattan prices.

Rachel Feinstein show is a great one. She is smart and funny and so so talented. Other things are great as well. A real gem. You dont have to be Jewish to enjoy it...

Very informative, nicely laid out in a beautiful building. Wide variety of objects.

So uncomfortable. Clerks are always monitoring visitors unnecessarily.

Very little to call this a Jewish museum. A lot of art by people who dont seem comfortable in their own skins. Quite a few primitive pieces by people who should know better. I refer loosely to calling some of this art, only because a curator decided to show this in a museum.

Great museum. I went to the Leonard Cohen exhibition and it is a tremendous experience that would take you through the life and work of Cohen.The rest of the museum is quite different from what you have seen in NYC, the art pieces are stunning and the religious objects breathtaking. I would personally recommend to go with someone knowledgeable about the topic so you do not get lost in the museum.

If you are of Jewish background you will definitely appreciate a visit to the museum but that isnt too day that it is only open to or interesting for others.I was fascinated to look over the marvellous collection of art which has been collected here.There is everything from paintings and weather vanes to, menhoras, Torah covers, circumcision sets and a plethora of other things.Each level seems to offer a different feel and perspective so theres lots to look at.

Easy to navigate the different showings. The staff are so friendly. Just widh the cafe was opened when we were there on Saturday. The menu looked really good.
