Founded in 2010 as a digital project, the Museum of Jewish Montreal has evolved into a vibrant cultural hub on Saint-Laurent Boulevard in the heart of a historic Jewish neighbourhood for Montreal. As Canada’s only institution of its kind, it offers a blend of art exhibitions, walking tours, food events, music, and fellowships, redefining what it means to engage with Jewish heritage. From immersive exhibitions and pop-up dinners to storytelling events and food tours, the museum connects visitors of all backgrounds to Jewish arts and. An array of programs features things like oral history fellowships and an online interactive map that traces Jewish life in Montreal since the 1760s.
