Formerly the Nahum Goldmann Museum of the Jewish Diaspora[2](Hebrew: בית התפוצות, "The Diaspora House"), the museum launched a large-scale renewal in 2016, adding a new wing with rotating temporary exhibitions, the Alfred H. Moses and Family Synagogue Hall featuring iconic synagogue models, and Heroes - Trailblazers of the Jewish People, a children's interactive exhibition. Museum renovations will culminate with the opening of a new permanent core exhibition in 2020.[3] This global-facing museum and educational institution tells the story of the Jewish people through the exploration of Jewish culture and history. It is a center for Jewish discourse, engagement, education[4] and research, encompassing a pluralistic and comprehensive worldview.
