In the heart of the Jewish quarter in Amsterdam, the Jewish Historical Museum provides deep insight into one of Amsterdam's most prolific cultures. The building is a combination of four renovated synagogues from the seventeenth century. The religion, history, and culture of the Netherlands's Jewish population are the central themes of the permanent exhibits in the museum. The temporary exhibits often offer a more general overview of Jewish culture and usually deal with the international aspects of the culture. In 1989, the Jewish Historical Museum received the Council of Europe Museum Prize for its appearance and architecture. Needless to say, the culturally rich historical museum is well known nationally and internationally.

The museum also manages the Hollandsche Schouwburg, which was used during World War II as the center for Jewish deportation. It is now a monument that pays homage to those who suffered and those who perished. This memorial also features an exhibit for children. Aside from the cultural and historical significance of the museum, the Jewish Historical Museum is also an architectural sight to behold. The four synagogues are connected with modern glass and metal creating a sort of symbolic appeal. The museum offers many attractions and events that are appealing to children, such as interactive videos and exhibits targeted for specific age groups.
