About this audio guide
This guide to the Jewish Museum in Bucharest begins with the tailors who raised a synagogue on Mamulari Street in eighteen thirty-six, when the lane was lined with their shops. It follows the neighbouring houses of prayer of the old Jewish quarter, and the chief rabbi Moses Rosen, who spent years gathering ritual objects from thinning communities. Start outside on the street, then step in under the painted ceiling.
