About Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage

The Maltz Museum in Beachwood shares Jewish heritage through the lens of the American experience. The permanent exhibition, An American Story, follows Jewish immigrants and the Jewish community of Greater Cleveland, and a second gallery shows Jewish ritual objects and fine art. A special exhibition gallery hosts rotating shows. Look at the outside walls too: the brickwork is Jerusalem gold limestone from Israel.
