More about the permanent exhibition
GUIDED TOURS OF THE PERMANENT EXHIBITION:
Guided Tour (90′)
Our guided tours start in front of the Synagogue, where our tour guides give a short introduction about the Memorial Center’s buliding complex. After the introduction, the guided tour continues through the entrance hall of the Tower of Lost Communities to the main exhibiton. Throughout the tour, visitors learn about the key historical moments of the Hungarian Holocaust. The tour ends in the synagogue, which is not active liturgically.
The main exhibition is recommended for visitors over the age of 14.
Note: If a group has more than 35 people, it will be split into two smaller groups. This is a simple rule that ensures a more manageable group size. However, the two groups can be guided simultaneously starting at a slightly different location. This also means that the fee of the guided tour has to be paid twice.
Jewish Quarter Tour (120′)
Our Jewish Quarter Tour begins in front of the Dohány Street Synagogue. However, it does not include a guided tour of the synagogue itself. The tour provides an overview of the so-called synagogue triangle (Dohány Street Synagogue, Rumbach Street Synagogue and Kazinczy Street Syangogue), and tells the story of Budapest’s Big Ghetto by visiting the Carl Lutz statue, the Klauzál Square, the Kazinczy Street mikve, the Ghetto Wall Memorial, etc.
