Described as “gasp-inducing” by The New York Times, the Museum is housed in the 1887 Eldridge Street Synagogue, a magnificent National Historic Landmark that has been meticulously restored. Explore the building’s history, architecture and culture while discovering its vibrant Lower East Side/Chinatown neighborhood. Highlights include awe-inspiring architecture, a new stained-glass window by artist Kiki Smith and Deborah Gans and award-winning digital displays. An off-the-beaten-path jewel, the Museum is a must-see site for those on the hunt for an authentic New York City experience.

Eldridge Street is one of few museums that are open and Pay What You Wish on Mondays.
