  I was able to visit this synagogue turned museum without difficulty or ID a couple of years ago as the only visitor on a Sunday morning. The lady guide who spoke excellent English was very welcoming and informative about what remains of the Jewish community today. In many ways it was sad to see this beautiful synagogue stripped of its seating and bimah and ark but still architecturallyimposing but of course no longer used for worship.The only other (functioning) synagogue was closed for refurbishment and it was not possible to go inside. I hope that by now it has reopened and is again in use.

  Time to take down this warning about IDs. It may have been accurate during the communist era (many tourism venues in Romania used to require ID) but it is definitely not the case now. We've been to this museum and synagogue numerous times, and have never been asked for any type of ID. In fact, we've always been welcomed most warmly. This museum should be on everyone's don't-miss list. And that includes Romanians - - as the museum's exhibits clearly illustrate, the Germans weren't the only ones deporting Jewish people to their deaths.

  Visitors should know that a national identity card or passport is required for entry. This requirement is not written in any guide book or review that I've seen, nor even posted on the door. However, the staff is quite rigid, and flabbergasted that someone might not know to bring their passport.
