Join our museum open day as we mark Holocaust Memorial Day.
To mark Holocaust Memorial Day 2026, the museum has been collaborating with local young people from the New Testament Church of God in Cheetham Hill and the King David School. The young people have been exploring stories of Mancunian Jews whose lives were impacted by the Holocaust. In response, they created multimedia art pieces that explore the enduring importance of these stories today and take inspiration from this year’s Holocaust Memorial Day theme, ‘Bridging Generations’.
Come to our Museum Open Day to see their new temporary exhibition, take part in creative activities, and try new treats from our museum Café, inspired by the stories the children have been working with. You will also get a chance to explore our 1874 Spanish and Portuguese synagogue and museum galleries and enjoy dishes from our vegetarian Cafe, inspired by stories from our collection.
