The Jewish Museum is housed in the 1908 Warburg Mansion, which was renovated in 1993. It contains a fascinating collection of art, artefacts and media installations. The permanent exhibition explains the Jewish cultural experience through exhibits of many objects and artefacts.

A Living Memorial to the Holocaust opened to the public in September 1997. Its mission is to educate people of all ages and backgrounds about the 20th century Jewish experience before, during, and after the Holocaust. The museum has more than 2,000 photographs, 800 artifacts and 24 documentary films.

The Museum at Eldridge Street, based in the 1887 National Historic Landmark Eldridge Street Synagogue, presents the culture, history and traditions of the great wave of Jewish immigrants to the Lower East Side that have settled in America. Tours, exhibits and public and educational programmes tell the story of the generations that carried religious and communal customs to a new country and celebrate America's broad cultural traditions.

This museum is one of the most beautifully located historic houses in the city and welcomes several thousand visitors each year for group tours, educational programme, strolls in the gardens and other special events. Built between 1836 and 1842, the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum exemplifies the type of country living that existed in the Pelham Bay Park area in the early 19th Century and gives pupils a chance to see how people used to live.
