Since 1960, the Jewish Museum of Rome has been the point of reference for discovering the traditions, religion, culture and history of the Jews of Rome, members of one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world.
Located in the monumental complex of the Great Synagogue, it was totally renovated in 2005 to preserve and enhance a magnificent permanent collection displayed in the Gallery of Ancient Marbles and the 7 exhibition rooms telling the bi-millennial history of the Jews of Rome, the relationships between Jews and the city, as well as the contribution of the Libyan Jewish community which arrived here in 1967.

The educational tour includes magnificent works of art and precious documents: Roman silver from the 17th and 18th centuries, precious fabrics from all over Europe, illuminated parchments, marbles that escaped the destruction of the Five Scole, gypsum casts and numerous liturgical objects that illustrate the annual Jewish holidays and those of the life, emancipation and persecutions in the 20th century. Two synagogues, the Great Synagogue and the Spanish Synagogue, are included in the tour.
