The Jewish Museum of Maryland building will be closed to the public until the summer of 2024 for the first phase of a capital project.

Over the course of the next year, we will take major steps towards growing the JMM from a 20th-century museum to a 21st-century one.

Our employees will still be working on programming, education, archives and collections, audio and video production, exhibition development, capital project support, and so much more, though our programs will be happening offsite at other partner organizations and online.

You can read more about the first phase of this project here.

We are storytellers, and our stories are for everyone. We’re working to provide resources so that everyone can hear and share our stories. This includes a wheelchair upon request, sign language interpretation, and much more. Please visit our Accessibility page for our current full offerings for guests.

If you have a suggestion for a resource that would help enhance your experience at the Museum, please contact our Director of Programs and Visitor Services, Trillion Attwood, at tattwood@jewishmuseummd.org or (443) 873-5177.

For information about current exhibits, please visit our Exhibits + Events page.

Our gift shop, Esther’s Place, is full of great gifts and souvenirs, ranging from JMM branded hats and magnets to beautiful Judaica such as mezuzahs/mezuzot and menorahs. While the shop is currently closed, we do have a pop-up shop available in the lobby for people to browse when the Museum is open.

For more information about our gift shop, please contact Chris Sniezek, Administrative Coordinator at csniezek@jewishmuseummd.org or 443-873-5171.

We offer docent-led tours of our historic synagogues at Sunday-Thursday at 1pm and 2:30 as well as an additional 11am tour on Sunday.

Tours start to the side of the front desk, in the Museum lobby. Our synagogues are not open to the public during normal hours. We ask that you travel with a docent to help us preserve these historic buildings.

To learn more about our synagogue tours, visit our Synagogue Tours page.

At this time, we are not offering onsite programming. We will update this section when we offer onsite programs again. In order to receive the Zoom information for our digital programs, you must register online.

You can check out our current digital program offerings and reserve tickets here. If you have any questions about our digital programs, contact our Program Assistant at lgrant@jewishmuseummd.org or 443-873-5169.

Photography is allowed in our permanent exhibits and in our historic synagogues. No flash photography is allowed. Sometimes with our special exhibits, certain objects may not be photographed. We will include signage whenever this is the case.

We do not serve any food or drinks on our campus. Additionally, there is no food or drink allowed in the exhibit galleries or in the historic synagogues. Museum staff reserve the right to ask guests to discard any food or drink during their visit.

If you’re looking for a place nearby for lunch or dinner, we have a whole list of recommendations you can check out here, including local Kosher restaurants.

If you are interested in bringing a group of ten or more people for a private visit to the Museum, please contact info@jewishmuseummd.org.

Please reach out to us at least two weeks ahead of any group visit, to guarantee reduced admission rates and a docent.

The Museum has public coat racks, located near our public restrooms. The coat racks are not secured by Museum staff and the Museum is not responsible for lost or stolen items that are left on the coat racks.

There is a limited amount of space on our coat racks, so we suggest you leave larger items at home before you visit.

JMM works to match lost property with its rightful owners whenever possible. Any lost items can be picked up in person or returned via uninsured US mail at the Museum’s expense. Please note, JMM is not responsible for an item once it has left the campus. Anyone who requests items in person must provide an accurate description of the item, and the Museum may ask for proof of ownership.

If you’ve lost an item, please contact the Museum at info@jewishmuseummd.org or at 410-732-6400.

Lost items are only kept for a limited time. The Museum waits 45 days after finding an item. After this time period, we donate items to local businesses.

While our building is closed to the public, we are not currently offering in-person research appointments. Reference services provided by email and phone will remain available in Summer 2023, though we anticipate longer wait times as construction work limits access to portions of our collections.

For reference inquiries, please email research@jewishmuseummd.org. We’ll do our best to respond to your inquiry within three weeks.

At this time we are not offering rentals of our properties.

JMM would be happy to make your day special with a rental of the Lloyd Street Synagogue. We also offer rentals of the Davidson Lobby, and Hendler Board Room to commemorate your special day. Please visit our Rentals page for more information.

The Jewish Museum of Maryland is temporarily not accepting donations for its collection. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to research@jewishmuseummd.org.

Please check our Donate to Our Collections page for updates.

In order to protect the objects in our exhibits, we have to keep the temperature in the galleries at a certain level. Our Voices of Lombard Street exhibit in particular can feel colder than the rest of the building because many of our collection items are housed in the basement under this gallery. We encourage our guests to dress in layers when visiting!
