Jewish Museum Milwaukee
The Jewish Museum Milwaukee, a program of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation, is dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of the Jewish people in Wisconsin and celebrating the continuum of Jewish heritage and culture. The history of American Jews is rooted in thousands of years of searching for freedom and equality. We are committed to sharing this story and the life lessons it brings with it, so that we may enhance the public’s awareness and appreciation of Jewish life and culture.
A resource for both education and entertainment, the museum features a permanent exhibit detailing the history of Jews in Milwaukee, as well as changing exhibits such as Andy Warhol: Ten Portraits of Jews of the 20th Century, Jews Who Rock and DEGENERATE! Hitler’s War on Modern Art.
The museum is a fascinating field trip for students of all ages. Through our docent-led tour, films, interactive displays and exhibit spaces, the Museum provides a forum for discussion about contemporary issues, including immigration, tolerance and civic involvement.
Historical records are available for researchers including archives and collections.
