Museo Ebraico di Venezia
The Museo Ebraico di Venezia (roughly: Jewish Museum of Venice) is a museum in the northern Italian city of Venice that is dedicated to the history and culture of the city's Jewish community. It was founded in 1954 and is located on Campo del Ghetto Novo ( Cannaregio 2902 B) in the ghetto between the two oldest synagogues in Venice. In addition to textiles from the 16th to 19th centuries, the museum has an extensive collection of incunabula , early prints , manuscripts and later printed works that are important for urban and Jewish life.
The museum is divided into two sections, one of which presents the life of the community according to the festival calendar and accordingly exhibits objects important for the liturgy , while the other section follows a historical guide and has a more didactic character.
In 1974 a library of its own was established , but it was not opened until 1981. In 1991 the house was moved next to the museum (Cannaregio, 2899). The library contains around 600 books and a corresponding inventory or finding aid as well as its own film collection.
