There are dozens — scores — of Jewish museums in Europe, many of them linked through the Association of European Jewish Museums.
With so many venues, lots is going on. Here are updates from a few places:

LONDON — The Jewish Museum as a Wedding Venue
The Jewish Museum in London is now licensed for both civil marriage and civil partnerships, and for Jewish and non-Jewish weddings. You can celebrate your vows in the museum’s listed building, surrounded by centuries of history. The ground floor auditorium provides space for a huppah and can accommodate up to 180 guests — who will also be able to access to the museum’s permanent displays andd temporary exhibitions.

KRAKOW — GALICIA JEWISH MUSEUM is expanding, launches crowd-funding campaign to help
The Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow, founded in 2004, has launched a crowd-funding campaign on Indiegogo to help finance its planned expansion. The Museum is trying to raise $22,250 through the campaign. It has already secured more than 60 percent of required funding from foundations and other donors.
The expansion includes extending the museum into an adjoining building, and also revamping and updating its permanent exhibit.
Our current space, which proved sufficient for the first few years of the Museum’s activity, today increasingly limits the operations of the institution. For this reason, the Museum has just signed an agreement to acquire additional space. Thanks to this expansion, the Museum area will increase by over fifty-percent!
Unfortunately, this new space is in extremely poor condition, badly needing a renovation, and must be properly equipped in order for it to be operational.
The Museum is located at via Del Monte 5/7, Trieste.
