About
The Jewish Museum of São Paulo (Portuguese: Museu Judaico de São Paulo) is a Jewish museum in São Paulo, Brazil. It holds exhibits on Jewish life in Brazil and a collection of over 2,000 items brought over by immigrants to Brazil.
The museum's building originated in 1928 as the Beth El Synagogue, a Byzantine Revival-style synagogue and was repurposed with additional functionality as a museum from 2004. Extensive renovations were completed over the course of 17 years, and the museum opened in 2021. The Beth‑El building was restored with funds from the Cultural Preservation Programme of the Federal Foreign Office of the Government of Germany.
