We combine art, rare objects, historical photographs, oral histories, videos,
and hands-on activities in engaging, informative exhibitions. Each exhibit
created or hosted by the Museum reveals new perspectives on the Jewish
experience in Maryland and beyond. Come immerse yourself in our current exhibits
and experience the rich variety of Jewish history.



The Jewish Museum of Maryland has the largest single collection of regional
Jewish Americana in the U.S. Our collections include works of art, historical
photographs, clothing, ceremonial items, rare books, everyday objects,
documents, oral histories, and memorabilia. The collections embody the story of
Jewish life in Maryland - immigration, family history, business, congregational
and organizational life, leisure, consumption, and contemporary culture. The
Museum collections and scholarly research inform our exhibitions, programs, and
publications.
