    Jewish Museum of Florida

    The Jewish Museum of Florida, heralded as the "Jewel of South Beach," serves as a major cultural attraction and source of information for a wide audience of residents, tourists, students and scholars of all ages and backgrounds from throughout the state, nation and world. In one week, they welcome visitors from 30 different countries. Located in a former synagogue that housed Miami Beach's first Jewish congregation, the museum's restored 1936 Art Deco building is on the National Register of Historic Places. The building features nearly 80 stained glass windows, a copper dome, marble bimah and many Art Deco features including chandeliers and sconces. The Museum's core exhibit is MOSAIC: Jewish Life in Florida, depicting nearly 250 years of Florida Jewish History through photographs and artifacts from all over the state. The stories about Jews who came from diverse lands and helped develop the state while maintaining their traditions are narratives that relate to all visitors.
