Judiska Museet

TIME : 2016/2/19 0:36:25

Expanding Swedish history beyond Vasa and Vikings, this kosher little museum explores Swedish Jewry since 1774. Nifty pull-out display cabinets cover everything from the Holocaust and Raoul Wallenberg (a Swedish Oscar Schindler of sorts) to Torah silverware, ceremonial Passover items, wince-inducing circumcision knives, and a seven-branched candlestick looted from Jerusalem by the Romans in AD 70. The temporary exhibitions are often brilliant.
