Experience Sanctuary Within the City

Our Museum

Step inside history and explore an icon of New York City resilience. The Museum at Eldridge Street tells the story of the 19th-century Eldridge Street Synagogue and the Jewish immigrants who built it. Our signature self-guided tour invites you to experience life through the eyes of a newly arrived immigrant to New York’s Lower East Side.

Our Landmark

The Museum at Eldridge Street is housed in the historic Eldridge Street Synagogue. Built in 1887, it is an architectural marvel and a symbol of immigrant aspirations realized. The grand building was nearly lost to neglect in the mid-20th century before the Museum’s massive restoration project returned the space to glory and public use.
