Reviews of Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage (Museum)

Ben H

Very informative, but too cost prohibitive for the general public to truly benefit. The Huntington family made the art museum free and they didn't even require their name carved into the side in stone.

Lily Hamilton

An amazing experience! I learned so much. The guides were helpful and the place wasn't too crowded!!!

Bruce Blady

Excellent Jewish museum. Holagram of a survivor that will answer your questions

Christopher Enis

The "This Light Of Ours" Exhibit is touching and the staff great.

Kyle Brill

Great exhibits! Came for the Violins of Hope, and explored a little in the permanent exhibits as well. Very nice collection, with the price of admission. Violins of Hope were very nice, with really touching stories. It is hard to see how little the world has changed and how quickly we forget what happens when we start seeing our fellow humans as "other."

Mary Ober

A gem! Extremely informative without being preachy..

EJ S

Enjoyed it very much

John Moody

That was nice of the Jewish community to give back to people in need. Except they can out of watermelons. Other than that good people and a nice landscape of the facility.

Riley Priestle

It was so fun. They are so nice. It was an amazing learning expierience.

St Vincent de Paul

Great place to learn about Jewish history and religion. 3 separate displays. One for artwork and religious articles. One has the history of the Jewish people. The third is special exhibits that change regularly.

Amanda Pratt

This was an amazing exhibit. There was so much to see and think about. Try and have the guided tour if available. If not, there is also a self guided tour option.

Robin Oligny

Very interesting place to visit.

Michelle Kester

Powerful moving setups.

Dot Martin

Everyday Heroes exhibit is wonderful for 3-8 year old kiddos. I always enjoy and learn so much every time I visit here.

Ryan Stargell

The Maltz Museum is a museum that is very much needed. It serves a great memorial to the people of the Holocaust, and honestly I will never forget how I was impacted by what I experienced there. Warning: in one room, there are videos of the rescues from concentration camps and they are quite graphic. The museum isn't just holocaust specific, and the rest of the stuff is perhaps interesting to some, but not to me. Also, some of the gift shop kind of cheapens the experience. Great place to learn though. And it is active in the community.

Lynne Muzik

We had and outstanding experience viewing the Bernstein exhibition at the Maltz Museum.

Russ Johnston

Visiting this beautiful museum is not only for Jewish people but for anyone interested in the history of Cleveland, and the role of Jews and other immigrants in its history.

Nikki Davis

It was amazing and very detailed!

Shelby Schutt

Educational setting that focuses on social justice and equity.

I have to come here for a class project. I was worried about going to a Jewish museum with no Jewish background. Everyone was so nice and welcoming! I learned so much! The attractions were interactive and engaging!

Heather Gibson

The Maltz Museum of Jewish History is phenomenal! Truly worth the price of admission for all that it offers. In addition to displays that can be read and studied at one's leisure, there are several video displays that run on a loop and can be watched when one arrives. The history focuses on Jewish people as a whole and those who made a positive influence in the Cleveland area. The ancient artifacts in the wing devoted to Judaism are of the quality I would expect to see in a museum in New York or even Israel! Give yourself a day to go over everything and be prepared to be awed. We were greeted with kindness the moment we arrived, and any questions we had were met with friendliness in the answers. I can't wait to go back.

Eric Goldblatt

Their temporary exhibit was great. Something to learn every time. Great heart in a general center of surrounding anti-Semitism.

Patrick Henry

Interesting building and permanent displays. I attended an exhibit on Modern Israel with a docent tour. Great graphics. But terribly slanted approach to the Palestinian people. My review is for the museum as a whole despite the disappointing display and interpretation.

Ian R

A well-thought out and breathtaking museum. Very underrated and worth the visit

Ethan Dobres

Very good museum.

ReD X

You can learn a lot about Jewish history in here.

Carl Schiller

Visited on MLK Day today. Plenty of volunteers to provide assistance if you needed it. Well lit areas. Nice open spaces. Nicely produced short films. All around top shelf museum. Will visit again. Some much to read and see. Especially like the time line displays.

Kevin Cassidy

A very modern museum offering a variety of exhibits and activities. Although this was my first visit, I anticipate I will return for a special exhibit, or if they significantly update their main galleries and collection. Spent two hours there to walk through all of the museum but didn't watch the movie (which currently runs for 45 minutes.) Also had a very nice activity area for children.

Nicole Newman

Exhibits interesting and kid friendly too. Also research ahead of time for kid friendly events that they sponsor from time to time.

Jim Minnick

Awesome and very interesting!

Aaron Eatman

Great art and their traveling displays are usually top notch.

Mike Levy

I went to the new temporary Jews in medicine exhibit. It was interesting and had a lot info from the Mt. Sinai hospital as well as Jewish medical contributions through the ages.

Dmitriy Y

We had a great experience. The permanent exhibit on Cleveland was fascinating. All residents of Cleveland should check it out. The exhibits with artwork was also interesting to see. This is a good place to spend an afternoon, especially if you enjoy history.

Matt Rosenbaum

Outstanding Museum. This is definitely one of the best museums in the world to not only learn about Jewish culture, but also about racism. Zay gezunt!

Sheryl Di Franco

Very interesting museum. Good docents.
