The virtual visit of the mahJ allows the public to discover the galleries from a distance, thanks to thematic tours presenting around sixty works, accompanied by explanations (in French) and music.

Composition of the virtual visit

There are four thematic tours: "Masterpieces" (« Chefs d'œuvre »), "Keys to Judaism" (« Clés du judaïsme »), "History of Jews in France" (« Histoire des juifs en France ») and "Families" (« Familles »). You can also choose to see the "Whole museum" (« Tout le musée »)

A few tips:

  • Arrows on the ground
    take you from step to step, as if you were walking,
  • The helmet icon
    to listen to short explanations (in French),
  • The loudspeaker icon
    to listen to music (available in Masterpieces tour (« Chefs d'œuvre ») or Whole museum (« Tout le musée »)),
  • White stops
    to observe a work of art (magnifying glass) and read a commentary (in French),
  • Magnifying glass icon
    to see a larger version of an image or scroll through several images,
  • Menu (square icon top left)
    to navigate from one sequence to another or to change tour. Please note that if you have chosen one of the themed tours, only the sequences corresponding to that theme will be displayed. To see everything, choose "Whole museum"
    (« Tout le musée »).

You will also discover the setting of the Hôtel de Saint-Aignan, which serves as a showcase for the collection.

The virtual visit retraces a moment in the presentation

Those of you who are able to visit the exhibition will have the opportunity to discover that the presentation of the collection is changing! 

This virtual tour reflects the presentation of the permanent collection in October 2021.

Only part of the permanent collection is on display to the public, with the majority of works carefully preserved in the museum's reserves. The hanging of the collection has also been transformed by the desire to highlight coherent sets, recent acquisitions, or to evoke a historical fact or an artist.

See more information on new displays and new acquisitions bellow.
