Lonely Planet review for Museum Judenplatz

The main focus of this Jewish museum is the excavated remains of a medieval synagogue that once stood on Judenplatz. Built around 1420, the basic outline of the synagogue can still be seen, illuminated with subdued lighting. A small model of the building completes the picture. After entering the museum you get headphones and descend into a film room to watch an informative 12-minute video on Judaism, the synagogue and the Jewish quarter. Next up are excavations, after which you can search the databases for lost relatives or friends if you wish.
