Musee de l'art Juif

Set up since 1948 on the 4th floor of the Jewish Center in Montmartre, the museum presents Jewish history and art, mostly through cult objects (clothing, lamps, books, hands...). There are also models of synagogues from 17th and 18th centuries in Poland, an old model of Jerusalem and moldings representing the tombs of the Jewish cemetery in Prague. The museum also has modern paintings from artists like Chagall, Pissaro, Pascin, Benn etc., and encourages young, Jewish artists of today with an art award.
