The Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives (Magyar Zsidó Múzeum és Levéltár) is located at number 2 via Dohány, inside the complex of the Great Synagogue of Budapest, the largest synagogue in Europe, a central symbol of Hungarian Jewish history and architecture.
Founded in 1916 with over 1,500 ceremonial objects, the museum was reborn after the Second World War and since 1994 it also includes the rich archival section, with documents, photographs, and manuscripts from Hungarian Jewish communities and institutions dating back to the 20th century.
The permanent exhibition "Tamid: Mindig" illustrates the foundations of religious Judaism, rituals, holidays, and ritual objects such as menorahs, ketubot, and Ottoman silver rimonim (including a pair from 1602), as well as works by Hungarian Jewish artists such as Piroska Hévizi, Imre Ámos, Adolf Fényes and others.
The visit also includes the Shoah Room, with the names of the victims engraved and historical documents, and the Historical Archive, accessible to researchers by appointment, with unique specimens from the Austro-Hungarian period to the post-1989 liberation.
