- the museum visitor guide, available on Bloomberg Connects. Download the application onto your smartphone (this link) at home or when you arrive at the museum. You can discover three themed tour routes, each presenting around fifteen works in photographs, accompanied by audio commentaries, thanks to the maps and numbering in the rooms. The audio commentaries are available in French, English and Spanish, but their written transcription is translated into all the languages of the application, over forty in all (including German, Arabic, Hebrew, Italian and Russian).

Some temporary exhibitions are also available on the visitor application.

- the audioguide: very easy to use, it is available in three languages (French, English and Spanish), and allows you to discover the works in the permanent exhibition through the prism of three thematic routes: ‘the must-sees’, ‘the keys to Judaism’ and ‘the history of the Jews of France’. Ask for it at the ticket office.

- the virtual tour: if you want to discover the museum from a distance, don't hesitate to take a virtual tour of the collections in 2021.
