The Jewish Museum has reopened but you need to make a reservation in advance. Go to their website and reserve a day and a time. It’s very easy to arrange and well worth it. When we were there, we felt as if we were the only invited guests at the museum. While their Russ and Daughters restaurant is presently closed, all the exhibits and their gift shop are open to the public.

They have a great combination of historical pieces and modern art. Each floor has a unique layout so there will definitely be something to enjoy.

This place is awesome if youre into cool pics for your social media. It is a bit pricey so make sure youre OK with pricing. Its $25 for adults and $10 for kids. Sometimes you can find discounted tickets on Group on. Best days to go is during the week after 6pm. I went in a Tuesday at 7pm and it was clear! So we got to enjoy the rooms and take lots of pics. Also parking clears up after 8pm and meters are free.

The Jewish Museum is a first class art museum that houses a great collection of art, which pays tribute to the rich culture and history of the Jewish people.The Jewish Museum is located in the Felix M. Warburg mansion, the former residence of Felix M. Warburg, a German born banker and philanthropist and a member of the Warburg banking family.During our visit at the museum, my wife and I enjoyed examining the art featured in the Scenes from the Collection exhibition. We were impressed by the beauty and creativity of the Jewish paintings, sculptures and Jewish cultural art.Both my wife and I always enjoyed viewing the art featured in the Rachel Feinstein exhibit. What caught our attention were the well crafted figurines and the gorgeously designed wallpaper, Panorama Of Rome.Both my wife and I very much enjoyed our visit of the Jewish Museum and we recommend for everyone to take the time to visit and view the museum’s outstanding collection of great works of art.

Great time. You can get through most of the museum quickly.Saturday’s are FREE!

The Jewish Museum is a museum in Manhattan, on the museum mile devoted to Jewish Culture . As it describes itself on its website it is a museum at the intersection of art and Jewish culture for people of all backgrounds.The building where the museum is located was a mansion owned by Mr. Warburg, a Jewish philanthropist in the early 1900s. It worth visiting the museum just to see the building.The artistic works in the museum have in the view of the museum docents a connection to Jewish Culture in the sense that either the artist is Jewish and/or the work has a Jewish theme. The connection to Judaism of some of the work is tenuous in my opinion .The other part of the museum is devoted to Jewish ceremonial objects dating back in many cases hundreds of years. This includes things like Shofars, Torah Covers and many other items. Personally I enjoyed this part more.Besides the exhibits, the museum have various programs and lectures - I recently attended a lecture at the museum by 2 Jewish writers talking about their books. Whether or not you are Jewish, and however much you know about Judaism the museum is worth a trip.There is a kosher restaurant in the basement of the museum called Russ and Daughters. It serves various diary dishes and is supposed to be very good (I havent eaten there myself). It is on the expensive side, however, even by Manhattan prices.

My first time in the museum. Love Rachel Feinstein exhibit and the museum in general is pretty interesting. I would recommend it.

An amazing collection, a most beautiful place. The building itself is wonderful, let alone how carefully curated is the collection. I spent most of my visit on the Leonard Cohen Exhibit, A crack in Everything, which is among my most valued museum experiences ever. The gifth shop is amazing - and everyone was so kind! A must-see in NYC.

Interesting, well-curated shows. A beautiful building and Russ & Daughters is a treat.

They have a interested art and Jewish Hanukkah and painting.

An incredible museum! We had a great time there. It contains art from many time periods and of a variety of art forms. We were also pleasantly surprised that they have some suggestions for what to do with kids, and it included some tasks and drawings that children can recreate throughout the museum.

The museum for Jewish Art is really nice, it hold different exhibits of Jewish artistic endeavors. The staff is nice and the its easy to go around and enjoy it. The only down side and its a big one is the restaurant downstairs, we were there on Saturday and it is extremely over price. It a little bit rude I think to charge $55 per person for brunch (!) Not even lunch. I would recommend to eat before or after

One of the best museums in the city!! The former mansion has stunningly beautiful architectural details and fabulous exhibits. Free on Saturdays, though the gift shop and the period-decorated deli in the basement are closed then.

When I visitied, the first and second floor were closed. Only the third floor was open. The arts and paintings were very great. This place seemed to focus both on artifacts of Jewish history, and on modern and contemporary art.

Nice photos to my social media

Rachel Feinstein show is a great one. She is smart and funny and so so talented. Other things are great as well. A real gem. You dont have to be Jewish to enjoy it...

The Leonard Cohen exhibit is great. Space is clean and well managed. Some of the museum staff is friendly, some are not. Theres a Russ & Daughters cafe/market in the basement.

Great museum. Their environment & collection offer contemplation time.

The Leonard Cohen exhibit was truly amazing ! It seriously felt as though he was there and watching from the great beyond. The large first room had mixed images flashing on 3 of the 4 walls of him and it felt as though he was there watching all of us! Truly amazing exhibit! They did a first rate job of show casing a wonderfully complex gentleman! Well done JM!

A great museum with very engaging exhibitions. I recently went on a Saturday to see the Leonard Cohen show. Admission is free on Saturdays and it was busy. But despite the crowds, it was an intimate and powerful experience.

Lovely museum with a nice collection. I visited during the Leonard Cohen exhibit, which was really special. The gift shop offers a good collection of Judaica and the deli is delicious!

Easy to navigate the different showings. The staff are so friendly. Just widh the cafe was opened when we were there on Saturday. The menu looked really good.

Fun and varied exhibits. Small enough that you can see everything, big enough to be worth the price of admission. If you go Saturday there is even free admission- thanks to ancient Jewish traditions. Check out Russ & Daughters outpost in the basement for a bagel with a schmear or another savory delicious traditional with a twist treat.

One of my favorite museum, permanent collections as well as exhibitions are organized perfectly, the building is beautiful too.Check the restaurant downstairs!I heard it is free on weekends (or some of them?): it is worth checking the websiteThere is a store too

Very interesting to the museum. Everyone who is interested in the story, I definitely recommend visiting!

Very little to call this a Jewish museum. A lot of art by people who dont seem comfortable in their own skins. Quite a few primitive pieces by people who should know better. I refer loosely to calling some of this art, only because a curator decided to show this in a museum.

There is very nice art that made by Jewish artist (Sach as Marc Shagal). The picture from the thread floor, about Jewish art.

If you are of Jewish background you will definitely appreciate a visit to the museum but that isnt too day that it is only open to or interesting for others.I was fascinated to look over the marvellous collection of art which has been collected here.There is everything from paintings and weather vanes to, menhoras, Torah covers, circumcision sets and a plethora of other things.Each level seems to offer a different feel and perspective so theres lots to look at.

Gentle, happy staff and a brilliant curation makes this museum a must visit. Just $18 for an adult or free on Saturday?? Its a small museum but theres so many great works to ponder over.

Cool collection. Good interpretation. Always my hallmark of a good museum.

The museum is quite interesting and some of the art is very provocative. The whole place is accessible and well laid out with strong artist information and good interpretation. Lots of very interesting pieces.

Middle sized museum with a permanent collection and always some special exhibits. This museum is focused on Jewish culture and often the intersection with modern art and/or politics.

Iconic NYC museum covering Jewish art & history ~ Stunning collection in historic UES building overlooking Fifth Avenue

Great museum. I went to the Leonard Cohen exhibition and it is a tremendous experience that would take you through the life and work of Cohen.The rest of the museum is quite different from what you have seen in NYC, the art pieces are stunning and the religious objects breathtaking. I would personally recommend to go with someone knowledgeable about the topic so you do not get lost in the museum.

Always great exhibits especially around a holiday. This one being Chanukah.

Loved learning the history of objects and rituals. The temporary exhibit on Edith Halpert was amazing.

Lots of beautiful exhibits. Especially enjoyed the large variety of menorah.

If you go to A Crack in Everything expecting Cohen manuscripts and ephemera ala the Tolkien exhibit at the Morgan Library, youll be disappointed.But if you are looking for room-sized concert videos of Cohen, deep voices in dark rooms, holy vibrations of Alleluia through your bones ... this is for you.Tributes to Cohen by various artists and non-artists may shock, offend, tickle, or move you. Allow two to three hours at least to take it all in, especially since the wait for the blue room/Depression Chamber may be long. (If the line is short, join it. The wait is five minutes per person.)I loved the hundred-plus self portraits with the accompanying humming in the walls; the humming room; the the blue room; the concert room. But then, I loved Cohen.

Loved this museum. The kids did art pieces. The restaurant was the best!

I feel the ticket price is a big high for this, there are two temporary exhibitions and one permanent exhibition, I didn’t like the exhibition on the ground floor, I did the other but not sure if I would pay for the ticket again

A small museum featuring Jewish artifacts and arts by important Jewish artists and Important curated exhibitions like the just finished about the art dealer Edith Halpert

The staff was a bit terse. The museum itself is less accessible to non-Jews. Still, theres some interesting artwork.

Nice art galleries the first 2 floors, not much inherent about Judaism and its anthropology until the third floor and only on that floor.

Great space with good exhibitions. I loved the one on Leonard Cohen which is really very well organized with a vivid portrait of the artist and the collection of art inspired by him. The restaurant in the basement is a good recommendation for a quick bite on style!

Very disappointing oldfashioned Museum, Definitely not for kids or families.

Very intimate venue. The sound in the room was very inviting.

First visit since major interior renovations were completed. Has repositioned its offerings in regard to the relatively new Museum of Jewish Heritage (Holocaust Museum) at the south end of Manhattan island. The uptown Jewish Museum now focuses more on art, music, culture, and artifacts associated with a worldwide ethnic and religious population.Not just for Jews exclusively. Invites people from all cultures from around the world. Open Saturdays (Shabbas) for free, except Museum Store is closed. Hosts large temporary exhibits (such an interesting one about the late musician Leonard Cohen) and often publishes book-length exhibition catalogs.Security screening at entrance, for obvious reasons. Staff is respectful and polite.

A fantastic museum of art with a twist. Well worth the visit to see both the permanent and temporary exhibits

Amazes to see all the arts and Craft! Loved the visit

Saw the Leonard Cohen exhibit, which was fascinating, and spent a little time in the other exhibits. It’s an excellent museum, although there were a lot of LOUD patrons during our visit.Having security similar to airport security really annoyed me but I can’t fault the museum for reacting to the current state of the world.

The Leonard Cohen exhibit is terrific. Could have spent four or five hours there and still not seen/heard everything! We really enjoyed lunch downstairs in Russ & Daughters.

The Edith Halpert exhibit is wonderful -- her spirit is just what I needed to start the new year with hope

I visited the museum during the Jewish holidays in September and it was free.I didnt like some of the exhibits but some were very interesting.

Interesting art though not quite what I expected. Beautiful Menorahs.

The Leonard Cohen exhibit was one of the best curated audiovisual museum exhibitions ever. Worth at least 2 hours of your time.

Saturday is free. Nice place to see and learn about Jewish History.

Again I love New York. This museum is very large much larger than my Baltimore museum. Sooo much to see. I am more knowledgeable in the Jewish Faith. Shalom. So Beautiful

That Leonard Cohen exhibit plus Russ & Daughters combo? Get outta here... Top notch.

Best Bagels ever at Russ and Daughters.

Beautiful collection in a beautiful building, across the street from Central Park.

Always wonderful to visit the museum and its well curated shows.

The group Meetup was a disaster. They left the location. The bag counter refused to let me in they said the rules are , no bag pack. I explained my bag is a type of hand bag, dual in nature. I dont have to carry it on my back but because I have severe injuries on my right side I carry it on my left shoulder.I said I could hold the straps in my hand while viewing although that too is a bit much because my left shoulder is also slightly injured and has been bearing all loads due to the right side being out of commission for over 2 half years due to work injuries.They insisted I should take out my double folded purse, iPad, phone, and glasses place them in a small looking sandwich bag being issued at the desk. Then leave my bag at the desk.I refused profusely, explaining that I had a similar situation at a museum in Glasgow, Scotland and that bag was a much larger but when I explained my medical situation they were quite considerate and accommodating and allowed me in with little or no duress.I was eventually allowed in the Jewish Museum and the trip was informative and relaxing.

Converted mansion holding great exhibitions. Incredible judeaica in museum store

We went there and saw the Leonard Cohen retrospective . Very well presented and very moving. He was a great poet laureate and song writer. His song Halleluya is a gold standard, sung around the world.

I love the museum, just great curated exhibitions free in Saturday, they have a great shop which is not open Saturday but is great for elegant and meaningful gifts.

Was great. All religions and nationalities would benefit from the visit.

Top floor was the best part when I went.

Leonard Cohen exhibit was mesmerizing.Staff not so.Stars are for the exhibit.Staff could use some manners and personality.

If you dont catch the everchanging exhibits you will deserve all of the inevitable guilt trips you will be condemned to take. Favorite overheard utterance: I didnt know that she is a MOT. Great authentic Yiddish food also available through Russ and daughters and son in laws. Bring the kids.

Good museum thats free on Saturdays and part of Bank of America Museums on Us. Sadly the museum is quite small and when I went one of the floors was closed due to renovation so it was a very short visit. Still had a good time and cant complain too much since it was free. Friendly staff is also a nice plus.

Nice collection, well displayed, maybe could have used more written background info

There some pretty interesting parts there.

Wonderful exhibits of Jewish art, culture and religious treasures and artifacts. The Leonard Cohen exhibit was a terrific retrospective of his life and work.

Leonard Cohen exhibit was fantastic. Russ and Daughters is excellent though pricey.

A very good holocaust museum, well made and well built

A lot to see great place to go with the kids a lot lo learn

This is perhaps not the worst museum I’ve ever visited, but it’s pretty close. The staff seem thoroughly uninterested in helping visitors have an enjoyable time. But take your jacket off in the galleries and they’ll be all over you to put it back on. Rarely have I seen a museum with a more inane rules.But do the exhibits make up for that? Haha, hardly. Many of the exhibits feel more like collections of high-school art projects than serious works of art.Two stars is being generous. A real disappointment.

It was a decent museum. Not the biggest around, not a top tier museum and smaller than some of the others (both in terms of physical size and the size of its collection). But it is still a good visit.

Cohen exhibit opened today. Dont miss it! Youll need a few hours to immerse yourself. The second floor organ installation is amazing. Take your time, play multiple keys. When you get to the room with the mens choir singing, stay and listen as long as you can stand it before going into the room behind the screen. I laughed out loud with joy!

Very touching museum; close to my heart. They may not have the biggest display of Jewish artifacts but the museum is close to home and has a significant enough collection.

Absolutely the kindest Information Desk staff imaginable! Wonderfully put together pieces that really showcases the museum, Jewish designers, and everything in between. A must see!

Excellent exhibit on Edith Halpert, illustrated her significance to American art

Went to visit the Leonard Cohen exhibit. Learned more about Jewish culture than I had known before. It was eye opening and revelatory.

So cool! I wish I could say more about the permanent exhibits, which Im sure are wonderful, but we were overwhelmed with the Leonard Cohen exhibition! Now through September 8th!

Great museum with cool exhibitions. Its free on Saturdays and you can wander trough central park to get there or after you are done

Excellent exhibits.... today saw the Leonard Cohen exhibit - wonderful !

It showcases the fascinating history of Jewish life.

Very informative, nicely laid out in a beautiful building. Wide variety of objects.

Fantastic venue. Leonard Cohen exhibit is superb! Regular exhibits are quite good too.

An amazing place. You have to go in person

Great museum but way too expensive you should be free

History of Jewish peoples and artifactsAlsoan amazing contemporary art collectionThat rotates regularly

Chagall, Lissitzky, Malevich: The Russian Avant-Garde in Vitebsk, 1918-1922 exhibit was great! Free Saturdays rocks!

I visited the museum with my family. My kids and I loved the museum. Its small, cozy, and gives home feeling.Also it has some amazing exbitions!

Fabulous Leonard Cohen exhibit! Except I prefer The Conspiracy of Beards as my a capella Leonard Cohen go-to singing group.

Amazing Leonard Cohen exhibition! Beautiful & touches your soul. We went on shabbat (Saturday) when its free but not suitable if youre frum so i came back on Sunday. Came early & was empty. Saturday was packed!!

Great museum with respect to the past and with an eye for the future!

Loved the Leonard Cohen exhibit. I found it totally absorbing. It is mostly a number of compilations of videos of him at various stages of his life.

Great outreach partnership with NYC doe

Had a great experience here. The museum strikes the right balance between atrocities of the past and optimism for the future. I also highly recommend the Cafe with a fantastic selection of unique fish dishes.
