The Jewish Museum of São Paulo (Portuguese: Museu Judaico de São Paulo) is a Jewish museum in São Paulo, Brazil. It holds exhibits on Jewish life in Brazil and a collection of over 2,000 items brought over by immigrants to Brazil.[1]

The museum's building originated in 1928 as the Beth El Synagogue, a Byzantine Revival-style synagogue and was repurposed with additional functionality as a museum from 2004.[2] Extensive renovations were completed over the course of 17 years, and the museum opened in 2021.[3][4] The Beth‑El building was restored with funds from the Cultural Preservation Programme of the Federal Foreign Office of the Government of Germany.[5]
