The Jewish Museum of São Paulo (Portuguese: Museu Judaico de São Paulo) is a Jewish museum in São Paulo, Brazil. It holds exhibits on Jewish life in Brazil and a collection of over 2,000 items brought over by immigrants to Brazil.[1] The museum's building originated in 1928 as a Byzantine-style synagogue and was lent out to the museum in 2004.[2] Extensive renovations were completed over the course of 17 years, and the museum opened in 2021.[3][4]
