William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum


William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum is located in the Selig Center at Spring Street NW, Atlanta, Georgia and is approximately 13 miles from Atlanta Hartsfield Airport. The museum features exhibits, events and programs that aim to promote Jewish values, culture and history. It is open from 10am to 5pm Monday to Thursday, 10am to 3pm Friday and 1pm to 5pm on Sundays but remains closed on Saturdays.

The museum is named after local businessman, humanitarian and important member of the Jewish community, Bill Bremen. It opened in 1996 and now features two signature exhibitions as well as special exhibits and shows. The signature exhibitions tell the stories of the Jews in Atlanta since 1845 and the story of the Holocaust years of 1933 to 1945.

Visitors can learn more about the Jewish community and how many settled in Atlanta through archive materials including photographs, documents, personal memorabilia and family pictures. Throughout the year there are special events held here such as book talks and signings, concerts and film showings. After touring the museum, visitors might like to visit the gift shop which is open during regular museum hours and sells various items such as hand-crafter Judaica and books.
