We spent about two hours seeing the permanent exhibit and the temporary one on the Dreyfus Affair. Both are very well done and very moving. The initial portion of the exhibit showed issues facing all immigrants and set the stage beautifully for the more specific Jewish experience. Highly recommended.
Saw The Dead Sea Scrolls here in like 2008, I think. Spent whole day here, even skipped lunch. So much rich history.
I did not expect such an exceptional museum. The Maltz truly captures the history of Cleveland Jewry and it does so with a mix of memorabilia and testimony. The various short films are well made and augment the exhibits. A special experience!
I have visited the Maltz Museum many times, and I always find something new, innovative, and interesting. Museum exhibits cover a wide range of topics, both American and international. In addition, the museum honors the creators of "Superman," who were born and raised in Cleveland. The gift shop is excellent!
You DON'T have to be Jewish to appreciate this museum. Spent 4 hours here and learned an incredible amount about the Holocaust, Cleveland and the "cast of characters" with ties to Cleveland. It is done in such a way as to grab your attention and make you want to learn more. The permanent exhibit of temple belongings is by far the most impressive collection I have seen. A new exhibit on Dreyfus will be coming soon. Make it a point to visit this museum.
Lovely setting and fascinating and comprehensive local input. Also very nice gift shop. Good reflection of the strength of the local Jewish community currently as well as over the years.
It is exciting and educational to visit the museum. The exhibits are done very well and can be nostalgic. It is a warm feeling to view one's heritage and recognize places and people that one has known.
The Maltz museum is a true gem in Cleveland. Rich with local history, it gives visitors a very thorough and authentic view of culture and progression through the local surrounding area. We are truly lucky to have such a great resource. Be sure to check the schedule of exhibits as well.
a great learning and cultural experience for anyone who wants a quality museum experience. alot of minorities learn abt jewish culture and traditions here. education and knowledge are powerful tools. also, a nice gift shop.
The museum is well thought out, the displays are informative, and interactive. The museum contains audio- visual presentations including interviews, short movies, and more. I spent more time there than I anticipated, since it is a worthwhile museum. I would like to return when there is a special exhibit. Be sure to stop by the gift shop-very nice too.
