All locations of the Jewish Cultural Quarter will be closed until April 6 due to measures concerning the coronavirus
As a result of the new measures that have been announced by the Prime Minister and RIVM, all our locations will be closed to the public at least until April 6. Our events can therefore not take place.
If you have a group reservation or you've reserved tickets for this period, you will be contacted as soon as possible about making a new reservation or refund (if applicable). This also applies to school visits.
All locations of the Jewish Cultural Quarter, except for the Portuguese Synagogue, are open every day of the week. Different opening hours apply on some public holidays.
Jewish Historical Museum & Childrens Museum & National Holocaust Memorial (Hollandsche Schouwburg)
Open seven days a week from 11 AM to 5 PM. The ticket desk closes at 4:30 and no new visitors (with tickets bought elsewhere) will be allowed in after 4:45 PM.
CONSTRUCTION NATIONAL HOLOCAUST MUSEUM AND HOLLANDSCHE SCHOUWBURG
Please note: On 2 February 2020 the National Holocaust Museum temporarily closed its doors for renovation. The Hollandsche Schouwburg will also close from 1 September 2020. In 2022 we hope to open a new National Holocaust Museum in these two opposite buildings.
