Musée d’art et d’histoire du Judaïsme – mahJ

Housed in the Hôtel de Saint-Aignan, one of the finest buildings in the Marais district, mahJ offers an exceptional setting for a wide range of events.

Built between 1644 and 1650 for Claude de Mesmes, Comte d'Avaux, the Hôtel de Saint-Aignan is one of the finest buildings in the Marais district. Characteristic of French classical architecture in the first half of the 17th century, it was built by architect Pierre Le Muet (1591-1669).

The museum presents an exceptional collection on Judaism in Europe and around the Mediterranean, from Antiquity to the present day. The mahJ is one of the major stops on the Marais art trail, between the Centre Pompidou and the Musée Picasso.
