Jewish museum of Prague
The Jewish Musée of Prague is born in 1906 in order to document the history, the habits and the traditions of the Jewish community of Bohemia, Moravie and Prague in particular at the time or the ghetto of Josefov knows a radical urban recasting and, to some extent “its heart loses”.
Its collections, paradoxically, grow rich thanks to the Third Reich during the Second world war: the Nazis think of making of Josefov an exotic museum of a disappeared race and store there the objects resulting from plunderings of the synagogs and Jewish Community places of Central Europe. August 4th, 1950, the museum passes under the direction of the Czechoslovakian communist State which centralizes all the economic activities, cultural and pertaining to worship. In 1996, the Jewish museum of Prague is returned to the Jewish community which ensures the administration of it.
The Jewish museum of Prague manages five synagogs: that of Maisel, Pinkas, Klaus and the synagogs Spanish and Old woman-News; the Jewish cemetery of Prague and them files of the community which are in the Synagog of Smíchov.
