The Manchester Jewish Museum has reopened to the public today following its £6 million revamp.

To enable the renovation work, the museum shut its doors two years ago after receiving a £2.89 million grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and amassing a further £3 million in funding from private donors and trusts.

Now complete with a brand new extension, it more comprehensively documents the social history of Manchester Jewry.

Its new exhibit explores the themes of journeys, communities and identities through a range of artefacts and interactive screens.
