A Jewish Square Mile exhibition reveals a lost medieval burial ground, forgotten lives, and new research overturning long-held myths.
About this Event

This exhibition returns with a new venue for Jewish Culture Month. 

Hidden in Plain Sight

Just beyond London's old Roman Wall lies one of the City's most significant historic sites, the UK's oldest Jewish cemetery.

Drawing on the latest research, this exhibition challenges enduring myths, uncovers forgotten lives and brings a hidden medieval world quietly back into view.
