Guided tours

Discover our exhibitions and delve into Swedish-Jewish history. We offer guided tours in Swedish and English:

Jews & Sweden

Join us on a journey through Swedish-Jewish history from the late 1700s to the postwar period. We also share the story of the old synagogue at Själagårdsgatan 19 and the Jewish life that unfolded there.

Shul! The synagogue in the Old town

The tour takes us back to the old synagogue that once stood here on Själagårdsgatan 19 and to the life that unfolded in this room between 1795 and 1870. We explore what a shul was, the ctivities that have filled the space, and how it once looked. We highlight the people and stories that shaped the congregation and describe why it outgrew this shul, how the building later changed function, and how the museum opened almost 150 years afterwards.

Jewish Värmland

Discover the traces of Jewish life in Värmland from the 19th century to today. Through photographs, archival materials and personal stories, Det judiska Värmland tells the story of how Jewish families established themselves in Karlstad, how a community grew and gradually disappeared, and what remains when the visible traces have faded from the cityscape.
