I really liked this place. The museum isn't that big but it's mostly about the history of Jews in Sweden. You can spend an hour or two there among the exhibits and descriptions.

Small and charming museum in the old synagogue's building. We stumbled upon it on accident and decided to visit & didn't regret it. I wish there was more to see though :)

Small and cozy museum that some days are free of charge, see the Web page. If you as I studied a lot about WWII it might be a bit repetarive but on the good side it has a lot of info about the Swedish involvement and attitude over centurys. Good for both non Swedish speakers and has audio. A place to respect. Giftshop is very small but cute. Prices are not very cheap but not expensive either.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
