The Jewish Museum of Venice, located in the middle of the world's oldest ghetto, reopened to the public on Thursday, October 22, following a seven-year renovation. The museum has been renovated and expanded by 400 square meters. Established in 1954 by the local Jewish community, it holds one of Italy's most important collections of Jewish art and culture, including ritual objects, goldsmithery, textiles, and ancient manuscripts. The new project aims to bring the complex together as a unified whole, replacing the fragmented layout of the previous visitor route and restoring the historic synagogues to the centre of the experience. In dialogue with the synagogues of the Old Ghetto, the Levantine, and the Spanish, the German, Italian, and Canton synagogues, which are traditionally situated on the upper levels of residential buildings and connected by internal passageways, are once again accessible to visitors. The redesigned style also provides greater space for the story of daily life in the Ghetto. The term "ghetto" originated in Venice and has since spread over the world, acquiring increasingly complex and painful meanings.
