Hold in the monumental complex of the Tempio Maggiore, the Jewish Museum of Rome unfolds a magnificent collection that dates back especially to the centuries of the Ghetto of Rome (1555-1870).
The exhibition route develops along 7 halls: the last one which has been inaugurated is dedicated to Libyan Judaism and the history of the 4,000 Jews who fled from Tripoli to Rome in 1967.
The permanent exhibition includes a video with the reconstruction of the ancient Ostia Synagogue, an interactive partner of the ghetto of Rome. Thanks to the historical reproductions and the reconstructed three-dimensional model, visitors can walk through the alleys and streets of one of the most unique and dense places in the history of the city of Rome.
