Exploring 4,000 years of art and Jewish culture, the museum tells the story of Jewish people through more than 800 works of art, and covers topics including ancient civilisations, immigration, the Holocaust and cultural identity.

The museum’s permanent Culture and Continuity: The Jewish Journey’ exhibition tells the story of the Jewish people through art and media, including radio and television programmes related to the Jewish experience.

Consisting of a multimedia bus/walking tour or a guided walking tour, this experience takes you to the heart of the Civil Rights Movement in Harlem and to the very sites where history happened. Includes the mosque of Malcolm X and the church of Wyatt Tee Walker (top aide to Martin Luther King).

We have developed links with key figures within the Civil Rights Movement who would like to share their unique experiences with our groups. Spend an hour in the presence of men and women who worked and campaigned alongside Martin Luther King and gain an electrifying experience that few, whether students or teachers, will ever forget.

Opened in 2014, the museum explores the implications of the events of 9/11, documenting the impact of those events and exploring 9/11’s continuing significance. It demonstrates the consequences of terrorism on individual lives and its impact on communities at local, national and international level. The museum is growing a permanent collection of artefacts, stories, photos, video and other materials.

The 9/11 memorial was dedicated on September 11, 2011 in a ceremony for victims’ families. The memorial honours the 2,983 who perished in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The memorial allows visitors to come together again in the spirit of unity and courage that emerged in the wake of 9/11. The memorial consists of two pools set in the footprints of the Twin Towers, surrounded by a plaza of more than 400 trees. The names of the victims are inscribed in bronze around the pools.

Located across the street from Ground Zero, the chapel survived the attack on the World Trade Center and became the centre of hope, refuge and faith in the months that followed. Used by thousands of emergency service workers during the recovery process, the chapel gates were used as a make-shift memorial and many personal items from this time are displayed inside the building today.

Designed in the Romanesque architectural style, the temple was completed in 1929 and is the world’s largest synagogue. The building houses a museum, which details the history of the congregation and local Jewish life.

The largest gothic-style Catholic Cathedral in the United States and a pre-eminent centre of Catholic life. The seat of the archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, the cathedral has hosted services for many fallen police and fire fighters after 9/11.

Highlighting the experiences of poor 19th century and early 20th century immigrants from different cultures, the museum tells the stories of one tenement apartment that was home to nearly 7,000 working class immigrants.

Tours also available including Irish Outsiders, Meet the Residents, and Hard Times.

Alongside the ultimate landmark of New York and one of the most universal symbols of political freedom and democracy, the Ellis Island Museum is dedicated to the history of immigration and the important role this island claimed during the mass migration of humanity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

A 45-minute audio tour invites students to relive the immigrant experience as if they were the new arrivals and includes artifacts, photos, interactive displays and videos including the award winning ‘Island of Hope, Island of Tears’.

You will visit the island as part of a short boat cruise passing the Statue of Liberty, which was the first sight for the millions of immigrants.
