Very interesting with a huge amount of well curated information and artefacts on all aspects of Jewish history, life and religion displayed through video, words and audio. The ticket is valid for a month and includes the Portuguese synagogue across the road. We spent about 3 hours there and felt like we still only scratched the surface. Do go down to the Treasury at the Portuguese synagogue - it is easy to miss, but has a very interesting film showing which is really worth watching.

There's a lot to see and I think that it's impossible to do it all in a day. I suggest only the Portuguese synagogue plus food and drinks in the Historical Museum restaurant plus one of the other exhibitions. The ticket needs to be extended to cover 2 days, not one.

Your ticket is valid at four sites and each is worth exploring. The Jewish Historical Museum is housed mainly in two former synagogues and had many interesting exhibits about Judaism and Jewish life in the Netherlands. The Portuguese Synagogue is across the street. It was interesting to tour this historic building, which is still in use as a synagogue. Nearby is the National Holocaust Memorial, in a former theatre that was used as a deportation center during WWII. Across the street is the National Holocaust Museum. Although not yet complete, you can see a number of exhibits as a preview.
