It’s quite nice place to visit and it’s generally informative. However, entering this museum is very hectic and isn’t a pleasant experience..! You have to hand your ID, get searched with metal detectors as if you are entering an airport.. then a huge, black steel door is opened.. to be honest, that was a little creepy..! But once you get through this unpleasant journey, you can find a lot of interesting and informative exhibits. Note: it’s quite a small museum.

I visited today and could not be any happier! I literally felt home, staff were extremely attentive. Had the pleasure to talk with Mr. Robert (I think) and exchanged a lot of information. The museum itself presents wonderful artifacts and very rare but worthy information. Aside from that, personally I felt home being surrounded by environment I grew up in. I will definitely visit again and hopefully Neve Shalom will be open in the near future. Definitely a must! See you soon!

Interesting, detailed exhibits and information about Jewish people in Turkey. Also includes a visit to the beautiful, large synagogue in the building.

Great to understand the history of Jewish people in Turkey. Everything is translated in English inside. The museum mostly presents the good parts of the life of Jewish people in modern day Turkey. For instance I didn't see anything about Varlık Vergisi: the wealth tax levied on Jewish citizens that led to emigration.

Nice museum that tells the history of the saphardic jews. Unfortunately due the Corona virus the synagogue is closed. But it's worth to visit the museum

For a history geek jewish history is an interesting one: so much diversity from such a small community. This museum is quintessentially Turkish: covering antiquity to today but mainly spanning the time between the spanish exile and early 20th century. Many interesting elements of the culture is explained in sufficient text material and visuals/physical objects. You get to walk inside the synagogue itself and also visit the art gallery downstairs. The whole complex is not that big but is packed densely -totally enjoyed it, think I got my money's worth!

A great place to discover the centuries old Jewish heritage in Istanbul and Anatolia through centuries.

Quiet museum, documenting Judaism from the time of the great diaspora and afterwards. The synagogue is subdued, but beautiful. Note the earthquake helmets underneath each seat. We had a magnitude 5.6 earthquake while I was there :-) unfortunately, the helmets were not needed.
