More information on Maisel Synagogue
This restored 16th Century temple is part of the multi-site Jewish Museum, Prague's most popular museum. The exhibits were collected during World War II as the occupying Nazis pillaged each and every Czech Jewish community and stockpiled the booty in Prague, where a small Jewish Museum had existed since 1906. The synagogue now houses the first part of an exhibition called "History of the Jews in Bohemia and Moravia" covering the period from the 10th Century to the 18th Century. Displays include silver Torah shields, pointers, fine tapestry, Torah curtains, documents, books and items from the ordinary everyday life of the city's Jews. Many of the finest objects date back to the relatively prosperous sixteenth century, when several of the richest synagogues in the Jewish quarter were built. The visiting hours vary seasonally, for specific timings check the website or call ahead.
