The Jewish Museum is the largest museum of this kind in Europe. It includes six buildings you can visit: Pinkasova synagoga, Maiselova synagoga, Španělská synagoga, Starý židovský hřbitov, Klausová synagoga a Obřadní síň (Ceremonial Hall). The Jewish Museum originated at about 1906 and the primary idea was to conserve valuable artistic objects from the Prague synagogues in the jewish town which was beeing demolished that time. Of course during the nazi occuppation the museum was closed and in 1950 the museum was nationalized and its activity was limited. Nowadays the museum is one of the most important ones thank to large collections (over 100 000 books and objects mostly from Bohemia and Moravia).
