Just beyond the outskirts of the City Centre lies the Jewish Museum, in an old synagogue founded in 1874. Downstairs is the fully restored former place of worship. Upstairs, the ladies' gallery houses a permanent display cataloguing the history of the still prominent local Jewish community. Helpful guides explain the ritual and history.
