history
The idea for the Judiska museet came up in 1981. The couple Viola and Aron Neuman had to cope with some organizational problems together with Torgny T. Segerstedt, Idy Bornstein, Harry Järv, David Glück and his wife Esther Kirstein. Above all, it was important to find a suitable place, since existing institutions could not spare any. Ultimately, the museum moved into a former carpet warehouse in Stockholm's free port ( Frihamnen in Swedish ).
It was opened on January 11, 1987 in the presence of the Minister of Culture Bengt Göransson and for a long time was the only museum in Scandinavia that specifically dealt with Jewish topics. In 1992 the museum moved to Hälsingegatan 2. Two years later, the Swedish Museum Association (Svenska Museiföreningen) named it “Museum of the Year” (Årets Museum) . The museum is a member of the Association of European Jewish Museums ( English Association of European Jewish Museum ).
In 2016 the company moved to Själagårdsgatan 19 in the Gamla stan district . Stockholm's first synagogue was located there until 1870. A reopening of the museum is planned for 2018.
