Maltz Museum Reopens To The Public In August

BEACHWOOD, OH — The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage will reopen to the public on Aug. 23.

Prior to the public reopening, museum members can get special admission from Aug. 16 to Aug. 18. Once the museum reopens to the public, guests can visit Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with advance-purchase tickets.

“We are living through a remarkable time in our history,” said David Schafer, managing director of the Maltz Museum. “We are proud to open our doors once again and welcome back visitors into our physical space."

Visitors can only gain admission by buying tickets in advance of a visit. Each ticket will allot a certain amount of time in the museum to each guest.

Here is the schedule for the museum's exhibits:

• 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m.: The Interactive Biography of Stanley Bernath + Self-guided Museum Tour
  • Start your visit in the theater with Holocaust Survivor Stanley Bernath’s Dimensions in Testimony Interactive Biography then enjoy a self-guided tour of our two galleries.
• 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m.:
  • Self-guided museum tours only
• 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.: Drop-in to shop at the Museum Store (no reservation required)
  • Shop for Judaica and specialty gifts from global artisans ranging in style from whimsical to sophisticated.

Here are the museum's safety protocols:

• Guests must wear masks to gain admission to the building
• Guests will have their temperature taken before admission
• Social distancing reminders will be placed throughout the museum

"Our safety protocols are in place and we are confident that visitors will feel comfortable with the limitations we’ve put on attendance to honor the six feet distancing guidelines. But, if anyone is wary, we’ve got great things happening online, too. There are choices about how to connect to us with online programs and the launch of new digital tours, coming soon. We hope Northeast Ohio – and beyond – will take advantage of these options," Schafer said.

Tickets can be reserved by calling 216-593-0575 or via the website at www.maltzmuseum.org
