A first exhibition space was created in 1960, and has been expanded and renewed several times since. A complete scientific overhaul, concluded in 2005, led to its current organisation, in the basement of the Tempio Maggiore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The museum describes the history and nature of the Jewish presence in Rome, using original testimonies: liturgical furnishings, manuscripts, incunabula, historical documents and stone artefacts and fragments. It focuses on the artistic quality and extent of the collection of ceremonial art passed down from the Cinque Scole, a collection built up over the centuries thanks to donations by families wishing to demonstrate their bond with the synagogue they belonged to.<\/p>\n

The exhibition itinerary will take visitors through eight rooms, labelled according to their content and main themes: \u201cLa guardaroba dei tessuti\u201d<\/em> (\u201cThe fabric wardrobe\u201d), \u201cDa Judaei a Giudei: Roma e i suoi Ebrei\u201d<\/em> (\u201cFrom the Judaei<\/em> to Judeans: Rome and its Jews\u201d \u2013 the settlement, from their origins to the establishment of the ghetto), \u201cFeste dell\u2019anno, feste della vita\u201d<\/em> (\u201cFeasts of the year, feasts of life\u201d), \u201cI tesori delle Cinque Scole<\/em>\u201d (\u201cThe treasures of the Cinque Scole\u201d), \u201cVita e Sinagoghe nel ghetto\u201d<\/em> (\u201cLife and Synagogues in the Ghetto\u201d), \u201cDall\u2019Emancipazione a oggi\u201d<\/em> (\u201cFrom Emancipation to the present day\u201d), \u201cL\u2019ebraismo libico\u201d<\/em> (\u201cLibyan Jewry\u201d), \u201c<\/em>La sala degli argenti\u201d<\/em> (\u201cSilver Room\u201d). The outer space in front of the entrance houses the \u201cGallery of Antique Marbles\u201d, with important stone artefacts dating from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, from the Cinque Scole and the Confraternities of the Ghetto<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Museum has also an access for wheelchair users and includes a guided tour of the Tempio Maggiore<\/a> and the Tempio Spagnolo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is a Bookshop selling books and souvenirs close to the ticket office.<\/p>\n
