The Jewish Museum London

The museum that tells the story of the history and heritage of Jews in Britain through universal themes of migration, family, faith and culture. We exist for all people from all backgrounds and celebrate diversity in all its forms. Our four permanent galleries showcase the vibrancy of Jewish life in Britain, including a recreation of London’s East End and rare items from our Designated collection of Jewish ceremonial art. Don’t miss our dynamic and varied temporary exhibitions, all included in the price of admission.

Jews. Money. These two words carry tremendous power when placed together, drawing on 2000 years of complex and, at times, troubled history. This exhibition explores the role of money in Jewish life and shows how the many associations linking Jews to money have developed - and to what effect. Myths of Jews being naturally ‘good with money’, miserly or greedy; conspiracy theories about Jewish bankers controlling the world: these ideas date back centuries and are some of the most deeply rooted antisemitic stereotypes in circulation, still very much alive in the 21st century. Throughout history there have been rich Jews and poor Jews. Jews, Money, Myth shows that Jewish wealth and poverty are products of social and economic realities rather than ‘Jewishness’ itself.
