The National Museum of American Jewish History (NMAJH) has extended free admission for all visitors through August after welcoming more than 13,000 visitors for free in July.

Free admission includes complimentary access to the museum’s core exhibition highlighting more than 360 years of life in America, told through a Jewish lens, plus complimentary access to special exhibition, Sara Berman’s Closet, which closes on 2 September.

NMAJH will remain open seven days a week during August and will be open late on Thursdays.

Joe Zuritsky, chairman of Parkway Corporation and trustee of NMAJH said: “Resources like the National Museum of American Jewish History are essential to our understanding of how immigrant communities and religious minorities have both shaped and been shaped by the opportunities and challenges of American freedom.”
