Very interesting. It helps to understand the evolution of the Jewish people but does not justify what they are doing to the Palestinians.

Very cool, we had the opportunity to go on an open day. We went around 11:30 in the morning and we could visit calmly without a lot of people. We did the visit on our own, using an audio guide that the receptionist kindly provided us. The staff is very friendly, the gentleman at the shop at the end of the visit was charming.

The museum offers a glimpse into the life of the Jews of the ancient Crown of Aragon, from the 9th to the 15th century. The visit is organized into different exhibition areas and brings together numerous archaeological materials, with the most important Hebrew lapidary collection in the country standing out. During the tour, you will learn about daily and family life, the internal organization of Jewish communities, the life cycle, the calendar, their festivities, customs and traditions, as well as the function of synagogues.

From the same museum, you can access the bookstore, which I attached an image of, where we can buy interesting items in addition to books on spirituality and talk with the bookseller, who is a wise, kind, and humorous man. There are places where you feel the strong Reiki and it allows you to travel to another time.

Recommended and interesting museum if you visit Girona and want to learn about the history of the Jews in the city. In addition to all the explanations accompanying the displayed objects, you also have an audio guide through the museum's website and you can connect to the wifi for free. In my case, I was lucky to have headphones!!! The downside is that there is no air conditioning and it gets hot, which makes you rush the visit instead of focusing more on all the information provided in each of the rooms. They also have temporary exhibitions at the entrance, right now there is one about Mauthausen that is quite interesting. Affordable price and with various discounts.

The museum was very interesting, but the ticket sales service was not correct at all, there was no information about the visit (which we requested information about). The lady simply told us to download the audio guide (which we couldn’t download) we read it from the website, the audio guides were very complicated and did not correspond with the images and exhibits of the museum. It was a bit dull considering how interesting it seemed.

Positive experience:
As you may know, the Jewish Quarter in Girona is the old part of the city where the Jews lived. It is currently a tourist center with many souvenir shops and quite a few pickpockets. The museum is right in the center and is very well preserved, and it's engaging with the guide. And if you like or are careful with photos, you can get a very nice report.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
If you are in Girona you cannot leave without seeing it, Very interesting and awesome as in addition to the exhibition, the museum itself is located in an old Jewish house that you can visit and see various parts that formed it (bathrooms, cistern, rooms, and the museum itself is in the old synagogue) Highly recommended and quite a decent price. Some weekends it is free after 7 PM.

Small charming museum. It collects many objects from daily life in the Jewish quarter of Girona. It has an interior courtyard, archaeological remains, a mikveh (place to refresh and bathe), and small rooms.

I hired the official guide of the museum because I thought it would be the best, but it wasn't, she didn't have a microphone or radio guide, luckily we were a small group, besides, I didn't like the explanations, although the guide was very friendly

It is a beautiful museum that tells the story of the Jews in Girona and the Mediterranean. There are many interesting pieces, such as the jars and pots they used, menorahs, stone shields, books, documents, and much more. It is in a three-story Jewish house, the tour lasts from forty minutes to an hour, and it is located in the heart of the Jewish quarter of Girona.

Very interesting to visit for €4 and is part of the 50% museum circuit. It tells the history of Jews in Spain and Girona very well
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Small and minimal, it speaks of a very sad story, that of a community first integrated, then segregated, and finally Cintia by force or murdered. It has a section dedicated to Moshe ben Nahman, rabbi, philosopher, physician, and poet from the year 1200, whose comments on ancient Hebrew texts are still relevant

It seems unbelievable. The different communities coexisted until intolerance came. I was surprised by the map of Europe with the dates of expulsion. A wave from north to south, ending in Portugal, except for Cologne in 1500. Luckily, we have returned to coexist in peace.

Interesting museum. With audio guide. If you pay attention, you won't miss anything.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Very interesting although perhaps a bit expensive for so little content.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
I went with my partner and we found it very interesting. The guide explained everything in great detail, although it was difficult to hear her on several occasions; it would be good to implement some system to be able to listen to the explanations at all times. She is delightful and very professional, it's clear she loves what she does and knows what she's doing. The facilities were very well maintained and the informational panels were quite accurate. However, once the visit was over, we had to go back in to review all the material, since with the 1h/1h 30 min that the guided tour lasts, the girl was very tight on time and there were things she skipped or we couldn't observe calmly. Unfortunately, when we entered, they were about to close and we could only take a quick look at some of the pieces that had caught our attention the most. Something remarkable and what I think is a great point is that the visit not only focuses on the facilities but also, whenever the weather allows, a walk around the Jewish Call is included. It's magical to be able to imagine everything they have explained to you and have someone next to you showing you those little things you didn't see before. The truth is that I would love to go back, I highly recommend it. Hopefully, more importance will be given to small spaces like this that tell us the often-forgotten history of our city.

Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Good museum, very good pieces but a very deficient museography.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Located in the same building as the last synagogue in Girona, this museum showcases the history of Jews in Catalonia, especially in Girona. Through QR codes that we can read with our phones throughout the visit, we receive information in audio form. The entrance fee is €4, but we can tour the different museums in the capital for half price if we request the M6 ticket. Personally, I expected something different. At the entrance, there is an audiovisual summary that explains the history of the Jews in about 8 minutes. This voice is loud enough so that after several rooms, I continue to hear it, which makes it difficult to listen to the audio guide on my phone. At first, I had the impression of seeing a lot of Hebrew inscriptions, (stones, gravestones, parchments,)....... and perhaps, too many names and details of supposed Jewish people, which I didn't quite understand their relation to the museum visit and got a bit confused. Honestly, I was left with a feeling of incomplete history.

More than about the Museum which is spectacular, I can share about the souvenir and literature shop that is right next to the Museum and where I worked in 2016. It is a good place to buy literature and much more related to the world, history, culture, and Jewish philosophy. Additionally, it has guides of the city of Girona and the 'Call Jueu', the Jewish quarter of Girona in several languages. You can also buy wines and 'khoser' sweets, that is: Israeli food suitable for consumption. So, recommended!

Positive experience:
Four euros for entry is not very expensive for a place where you have to read a lot to find it interesting and learn the history. So it's better to go with time to do it, although you don't need much to explore its two floors with nice courtyards where the photos will shine, documentation from the era in rolls of 'parchment' and gravestones from the time with translations of what is written. It's not bad, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary.

Interesting museum with a voice guide app, I recommend bringing headphones. The man who attended to me was very kind and attentive, the entrance costs 4€ except if you are a student or have the 'youth card', making it 2€.

Very long and interesting, it is also quite economical since children under 15 enter for free. My personal opinion is good.

See you soon!

Fantastic experience:
A fairly extensive and interesting museum. You need quite a bit of time if you want to see and read all the information it provides. And the price for what there is seems very reasonable to me.

Fantastic experience:
A museum that showcases the richness of the Hebrew people and their historical connection with Catalonia. It is closed on Mondays but it is worth visiting.
Translated from Spanish
Allow us to correct you, we open every Monday from 10 AM to 2 PM (and until 8 PM in July and August).
Sincerely,

Very detailed exhibition of the rich Jewish history in one of its main settlements on the Iberian Peninsula. An unsurpassed legacy that the Girona city council managed to recover.

A must-visit to know where we come from
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
It is a very nice place for those who like to appreciate different cultures. I come from Israel and seeing this museum reminded me of the country with every writing from there, I clarify that I am not Jewish but I like every culture.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
It is a very interesting place more for the architecture than for the exhibits, although there are always very beautiful thematic exhibitions. It has a lovely courtyard and remains of a mikveh (ritual bath).
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
Very spacious and well documented, extensive exhibition and it can be visited in its entirety, including archaeological remains.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
It's very good, but I expected something more complete. Small, it can be seen in just an hour and a half.
Translated from Spanish

Exceptional record of the passage of this fascinating culture in the Kingdoms of Aragon and Catalonia

If you visit Girona and do not visit this museum, you will have missed a unique opportunity to improve your perspective on our past. The guided tour is superb.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
After walking through the narrow streets of the Call of Girona, you can't miss its museum, which showcases the history of the Jewish community throughout the province.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
It is something to admire, the history of the Sephardic people in their diaspora throughout our territories. And the problem that the Inquisition meant for everyone, not just for the Jews. A place that must be seen to remember history.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
I recommend taking the guided tour explained, it is very good.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Very interesting museum in the heart of the Jewish quarter where you can learn about its history and that of the Jews in Catalonia over the years and history.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Location: Jewish Quarter
Date: 14/07/2016
When you visit Girona, it is essential to stroll through the narrow and steep streets of the Jewish quarter, where you will find the Jewish Museum, a store specialized in Jewish products, etc.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Highly recommended. A review of the entire Jewish history of Girona is done
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
A museum that must be visited, even for schoolchildren. It explains the daily life of the Jewish community in Girona, their integration into Girona, and finally the attacks from the Christian communities, leading to their violent persecution and practical elimination. The visit can be structured in three ways: one is by following the informative panels, another with the audio self-guide system, and the third is with a guide at certain times. In my opinion, there is a problem; the audiovisual room is open on all four walls and the sounds mix, since the audiovisual is constantly repeated; the other organizational problem, in my opinion, is that the indicative numbers in the displays are not sequential, which makes you lose quite a bit of time locating them to activate the self-guide. Affordable prices. If you go to Girona, it is a must-visit.
