Since 2006, the JHM Children’s Museum has been an integral part of the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam. Here, children and adults alike can explore various aspects of Jewish culture. This provides children with a taste of the versatility of Jewish life and a chance to see that there are not only differences but similarities with their own lives and family traditions.
The design of the JHM Children’s Museum is playful and interactive. Activities based on Jewish tradition enable children to learn through first-hand experience. They can bake hallahs (braided bread), write their names in Hebrew and play musical instruments. Also everyone is encouraged to think about and discuss the important theme: Love your neighbour as yourself.
Though the JHM Children’s Museum is especially geared towards 8-12 year olds, all ages are welcome
