The gallery is presented in three themes – Journeys, Communities and Identities and all the stories told are Jewish.  There are over 130 recorded interviews with holocaust survivors and refugees, over 20,000 photographs and documents, and a heartwarming immersive film with interviews of those who made the journey to Manchester.

The museum includes a modern gallery, vegetarian café, shop and learning studio & kitchen as well as the beautifully restored synagogue which is now part of the permanent exhibition.   It also runs a packed programme of interesting events across the year, including theatre, tours, arts and crafts. Check out their website for full details of what's on.

The museum is open 7 days a week for general admission and ticket prices for an adult is £8. There are ticket concessions for students, young persons and under 10s and MJM members are free.  They also take group bookings.
