It seeks to show the diverse roots and heritage of Jewish people in Britain, and to increase knowledge and understanding about Jewish life and history.

Founded in 1932, the museum has one of the world's finest collections of Jewish ceremonial art. The Camden branch of this museum includes a history gallery - which traces the story of the Jewish community in Britain from the Norman Conquest to recent times - and a ceremonial art gallery - which illustrates and explains Jewish religious practice with objects of rarity and beauty. The finchley branch of this museum houses the museum's social history collection.
