The Museum of Jewish Heritage is housed in a symbolic hexagonal building facing the Statue of Liberty at Battery Park City. Three floors trace Jewish history and culture through poignant permanent and temporary exhibitions. The Holocaust memorial in the garden, facing the water, is a deeply moving place of reflection. Temporary exhibitions are always of great quality. The Statue of Liberty view from the terrace is one of lower Manhattan's finest.
