Exhibition: “The Jewish Värmland” @ Värmland Museum

Exhibition: "The Jewish Värmland" @ Värmland Museum | Värmlands län | Sweden

The “Jewish Värmland” temporary exhibition, a collaboration between the Värmland Museum and the Swedish Jewish Museum in Stockholm, explores Jewish life and history in the Värmland County, in west-central Sweden.

One of the main attractions of the exhibition will be the reconstruction of the synagogue of Karlstad, the county’s capital,  a wooden structure built in 1899 and demolished in 1961.

Although there is no longer an active Jewish community in the county, a testament to the local Jewish life and history is the small, well kept Jewish cemetery, which can be visited in 3D by clicking here. The Jewish cemetery was opened in the late 1890s.
