ANU - Museum of the Jewish People

We were absolutely blown away by the renewed Anu Museum, from the friendly introduction we received as we entered to the amazing visual, auditory, really multisensorial experience of walking through the museum and interacting with the exhibits. You begin on the top floor with Jewish contributions to many cultural domains, from theater and film to literature, fine arts, and even cuisine. You continue on the second floor with a walk through Jewish history. As an intellectual historian specializing in the medieval and early modern periods, I was deeply impressed with how the history was presented, brought alive, and purposefully included diverse voices, including those or premodern women. The first and final floor includes the miniature models of synagogues from across the globe, which I loved so much as a child and which delighted my children in turn.

For sure a must see if your in tel aviv. I found it very interesting learning about other kinds of judaisim and about different traditions throughout the ages. The staff is very nice and welcoming. It was also very interesting to see the models of synagogues i really appreciate the architectural différences between them

This museum tells about the history and partly the culture of the Jews, and from different angles (music, cinema, theater, religion) and from different times. We can say that here you can see and read everything you would like to know about the Jews. Very interesting exhibits and their descriptions. Some look like full-fledged small rooms filled with "what the museum wants to show you." It was an interesting experience. P.S.: The museum is located on the territory of the "university campus", to get into it, you need to go through the checkpoint, and not look on the map for a direct entrance to the museum from the street.

I have been to the previous Diaspora Museum a few times and this is my first visit to the renovated and modernized new museum. It’s almost a brand new experience with so many interactive, hi-tech items that kids can play with. It’s so much fun and educational at the same time. The whole atmosphere is different: diverse, colorful, bright, modern, and optimistic. I love the new museum a lot more than the previous one.
