- The Jewish Museum of Rio de Janeiro arose, in 1977, from the need of the Carioca Jewish community to rescue and preserve its history and its memory - which are intertwined with the memory and Jewish traditions. Formed from the first decade of the twentieth century, mainly by Eastern European immigrants, the community changed with the successive migratory waves, which left their mark on objects, documents, books and photos representing an ancestral culture, source of inspiration and knowledge that the next generations strive to preserve.
