It was a beautiful museum. The building is just beautiful. The stones and the beads on the building was astonishingly beautiful on the building. They give an hour tour everyday. It was educational. Pictures and artefacts along with clothing was exhibited. I did learn new things. I just wish that they had more things to see along with more educational information about the Holocaust. But in due, time I guess. I added a couple of pictures that really caught my eye.

Small, but well appointed and tastefully executed exhibitions. The Leonard Bernstein special presentation was excellent.The MLK commemoration was well-represented, multicultural, and varied. The blues were sung in an intimate setting and the music blew my mind. A great vintage set.

Very nicely done. There was a booklet scavenger hunt to engage kids 8+ in the Leonard Bernstein special exhibit. And the regular exhibit had nice kid oriented interactive stuff as well. The Holocaust stuff is in a labelled room at the back so you can control your engagement with it. I was impressed.

Small but mighty. Worth a visit. Gift shop misses the mark, however in my opinion.

The Maltz Museum is a Cleveland treasure. Especially for a city with such a strong connection to the Jewish diaspora, it is important to tell their story from their own perspective. Furthermore, the Maltz Museums support of human rights causes, issues, and stories is great.

Everyday Heroes exhibit is wonderful for 3-8 year old kiddos. I always enjoy and learn so much every time I visit here.

Fascinating exhibit on Leonardo Bernstein. Imaginative and with lots of his music. Plan to spend at least an hour and a half with the videos and documents.

We went to the special exhibit about Leonard Bernstein on Saturday. It was excellent, with many pictures, videos and artifacts about him and his life. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

This is a great museum. It can bee seen in an afternoon. The temporary exhibits are amazing (currently about Leonard Bernstein, until March 1, 2020). The permanent exhibit about the Amaerican/Cleveland Jewish community is great (it could use a little updating but holds up well.) Then there is the Temple-Tifereth Israel Gallery with Jewish items collected from around the world.

A very modern museum offering a variety of exhibits and activities. Although this was my first visit, I anticipate I will return for a special exhibit, or if they significantly update their main galleries and collection. Spent two hours there to walk through all of the museum but didnt watch the movie (which currently runs for 45 minutes.) Also had a very nice activity area for children.

The Maltz Museum of Jewish History is phenomenal! Truly worth the price of admission for all that it offers. In addition to displays that can be read and studied at ones leisure, there are several video displays that run on a loop and can be watched when one arrives. The history focuses on Jewish people as a whole and those who made a positive influence in the Cleveland area. The ancient artifacts in the wing devoted to Judaism are of the quality I would expect to see in a museum in New York or even Israel! Give yourself a day to go over everything and be prepared to be awed. We were greeted with kindness the moment we arrived, and any questions we had were met with friendliness in the answers. I cant wait to go back.

That was nice of the Jewish community to give back to people in need. Except they can out of watermelons. Other than that good people and a nice landscape of the facility.

We had a great experience. The permanent exhibit on Cleveland was fascinating. All residents of Cleveland should check it out. The exhibits with artwork was also interesting to see. This is a good place to spend an afternoon, especially if you enjoy history.

Great place to learn about Jewish history and religion. 3 separate displays. One for artwork and religious articles. One has the history of the Jewish people. The third is special exhibits that change regularly.

Interesting building and permanent displays. I attended an exhibit on Modern Israel with a docent tour. Great graphics. But terribly slanted approach to the Palestinian people. My review is for the museum as a whole despite the disappointing display and interpretation.

Great exhibits! Came for the Violins of Hope, and explored a little in the permanent exhibits as well. Very nice collection, with the price of admission. Violins of Hope were very nice, with really touching stories. It is hard to see how little the world has changed and how quickly we forget what happens when we start seeing our fellow humans as other.

The Maltz Museum is a museum that is very much needed. It serves a great memorial to the people of the Holocaust, and honestly I will never forget how I was impacted by what I experienced there. Warning: in one room, there are videos of the rescues from concentration camps and they are quite graphic.The museum isnt just holocaust specific, and the rest of the stuff is perhaps interesting to some, but not to me. Also, some of the gift shop kind of cheapens the experience. Great place to learn though. And it is active in the community.
