MiQua. LVR-Jüdisches Museum im Archäologischen Quartier Köln

In the location's words:

MiQua is currently still under construction, but in the near future it will be an extraordinary museum in the heart of Cologne that impressively combines 2000 years of Cologne's history and culture.

Visitors can expect a fascinating exhibition that presents impressive archaeological finds and brings the city's Roman and Jewish past to life.

A particular highlight of the museum is the underground tour, which leads through the Roman governor's palace - the Praetorium - the Jewish quarter and the Christian goldsmiths' quarter. The Praetorium, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2021 as part of the Lower Germanic Limes, impresses with its majestic remains and architectural splendor. With the help of state-of-the-art technology and interactive elements, this journey through time is an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

The rich history of Jewish Cologne from the 15th century to the present day is impressively presented in the museum building above ground. Moving stories and valuable artifacts await you here.

MiQua is the result of close cooperation between the City of Cologne and the Rhineland Regional Association.
