Nemzeti Zsidó Múzeum és Levéltár (National Jewish Museum and Archives)

Frommer's Review

This museum is located in the Dohány Synagogue complex. A tablet outside informs visitors that Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism, was born on this spot. The four-room museum is devoted to the long history of Jews in Hungary. Displays include Sabbath and holiday items (including some gorgeous examples of the famous Herend porcelain company's Passover plates), and ritual and everyday artifacts. The last room contains a small, moving exhibit on the Holocaust in Hungary.
