An individual visit allows for a deeper and more personal experience with the exhibition, which features historic and religious objects, documents, photographs, and video materials. Audio guides are available at the reception.
The museum features four major galleries, each dedicated to a different aspect of Shtetl life. The exhibition focuses on three key periods: the years between the two World Wars (1918–1939), the Second World War (1939–1945), and the first decade following the war. Rich with authentic artifacts, the exhibition tells the story of the Šeduva Jewish community and the broader Shtetl experience.
Each gallery also includes photo and video exhibits—take your time to listen to expert commentaries and watch dramatic reenactments, where actors bring historical events to life based on available information.
Our knowledgeable guides and educators are passionate about sharing the rich history and culture of the Shtetl. Through engaging storytelling and expert insights, they bring the museum’s exhibitions to life, offering visitors a deeper understanding of Jewish heritage and community life in Šeduva.
