About Jewish Museum of Maryland
The Jewish Museum of Maryland sits in Baltimore's Jonestown neighborhood and presents the American Jewish experience, with a focus on the city and the state. Its core exhibition, Jews of Maryland at the Crossroads of Identity, uses artifacts, archival materials, and short films to show how Jewish residents built lives and contributed to the nation over time. The exhibition centers on an 1826 state law that let Jews hold public office, a milestone for religious freedom that also highlights continuing inequality faced by Black and other marginalized communities. The museum also runs virtual galleries, public events, school programs, and a large collection of objects, photographs, manuscripts, and oral histories for researchers.
