Jewish Museum Milwaukee

The Jewish Museum Milwaukee is dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of the Jewish people in southeastern Wisconsin and celebrating the continuum of Jewish heritage and culture. The history of American Jews is rooted in thousands of years of searching for freedom and equality. We are committed to sharing this story and the life lessons it brings with it, so that we may enhance the public’s awareness and appreciation of Jewish life and culture.

The Museum explores the history of Milwaukee’s Jewish Community to develop broad themes of tolerance, diversity and understanding. It has been open since April 2008 and it is the only Jewish Museum in the state of Wisconsin.
