Very interesting, we really enjoyed watching the video on Jewish History in Miami Beach, seeing the timelines on the wall and seeing the artifacts. The gift shop was really cool.

Whether you're interested in Jewish history or Florida history, this museum is a gem. The museum is located in two beautiful former synagogues with a little bakery attaching the two. The staff was very helpful and eager to answer any questions. The museum s a short walk from the major tourist area on Collins Ave. and well worth a visit!

The staff are polite and helpful without imposing. Lovely gift shop with Judaica to purchase.
I actually visited the Jewish Museum about a year ago. It has a wonderful collection about Florida Jewish history. Highly recommended.
