Manchester Jewish Museum reopens after £6m revamp

Other additions are a vegetarian kosher-style café, plus gallery, shop, learning studio and kitchen. 

“Whilst just two years in the making in terms of construction and design, this redevelopment has been a long labour of love spanning almost a decade,” said CEO Max Dunbar.

“Integral to this rebuild and renovation has been a desire for the new museum to fit into its cultural landscape architecturally and to be a place to explore what connects us all. 

“This was about creating a space for dialogue across difference, using the museum’s collection to spark debate and explore both shared and unique stories from diverse communities. We are so proud of our results and we cannot wait for everyone to come through our doors from Friday.”
