Welcome to
the treasure chambers
Welcome to the treasure chambers of the Portuguese Synagogue. This room is the film theatre. Around it are various rooms in which the spectacular ceremonial objects of the Portuguese Jewish Community are displayed. On this screen you can access information about the unique collection, its finest objects and some of the characteristic Portuguese Jewish traditions. The collection is held by the Portuguese Jewish Community’s Cultural Heritage Foundation (CEPIG), and the Jewish Museum manages the collection. Many of the ceremonial objects - all but the most fragile - are still used to this day in services in the Portuguese Synagogue. Above the treasure chamber is the world’s oldest functioning Jewish library: Ets Haim - Livraria Montezinos.
