The museum oasis
In our small museum oasis you can sit and enjoy a cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa. We have delicious little chocolates from Summerbird that you can buy.
Here you can end the day with a quiet break and talk to the staff about your experience of the exhibitions.
The museum shop
The Danish Jewish Museum also has a museum shop, which offers lots of Danish Jewish history.
The shop sells goods which, in one way or another, are about Danish Jewish history. It's everything from fine jewellery, tasty tea or exciting books.
So stop by the museum shop and explore our exciting selection.
Unfortunately, we do not have a webshop, but below you can read more about the latest items in our museum shop.

Original price: 149 kr. now only 99 kr.
MASAGAMA Tea: We have recreated a historical tea based on one of Denmark's oldest tea brands. The result is a rounded but strong black tea that could have been sold as MASAGAMA tea in the late 1800th century. It helps to bring to life and communicate an important chapter of shared Danish Jewish history.
Mr. Neumann: He's from Germany and is a well-dressed rabbi with glasses, an impressive beard and curls - and he's also a bath duck. Take him into the bath, give him a swim and watch him float on top of the water as if it were the Dead Sea!
Fishing boat: The ships are small fishing boats like those that transported many thousands of Danish Jews across the Øresund to Sweden during October 1943 as part of a major rescue operation. The effort contributed to a large number of Danish Jews surviving World War II and avoiding deportation.
Kippah: Italian-made kippah made of 100% raw silk with silk lining made in Italy by the Jewish sisters, Dora and Sofia Piperno, in the family workshop in Rome.
Dreidel: It is an Eastern European Jewish custom to play dreidel during the Jewish winter festival of Chanukkah. Each player should have a small supply of nuts, cookies, and crackers. Everyone first puts one item into the common pool. Spin the dreidel and see what it lands on!
Mezuzah: Is a small capsule containing a parchment scroll with two inscriptions from the Book of Deuteronomy. According to Jewish law, the mezuzah must be placed at the top of the right doorframe in all rooms in which one lives, typically hung slightly askew.
Beer: We have stuffed the story of Tuborg's founder on the label and bottle of our two new beers, Philip W. Heyman (1837-1893) and Hanne Emilie Heyman (née Adler, 1839-1917), who continued the family business after Philip's death in 1893. The two beers are a Belgian dubbel and a New England IPA from Ørbæk Bryggeri in 33 cl. bottles. You can buy them individually for 35 kr. or as a real pair for 55 kr. They are organic – and of course they are kosher.
Shot glass: The glass was designed by the world-famous Danish Jewish architect Arne Jacobsen in 1960. Due to his Jewish origins, Jacobsen had to flee in 1943. He fled together with, among others, the architect behind the PH lamp, Poul Henningsen.
Aquavit: We focus on the story of Isidor Henius with this “Isidor Aqvavit”. He is a Polish Jew and migrated from Poland to Denmark. In 1845 he became independent and together with three partners founded “Aalborg Privilegerede Sirup- og Spritfabrik”. Our akvavit is based on a traditional caraway schnapps with a touch of porse, which is hand-picked in Thy not far from Aalborg. It is a tribute to Henius and his importance for Danish industry and food culture.
Traineeship: The candlestick is part of the Georg Jensen series "COBRA MENORAH". The elegant candlestick is made of stainless steel and is available in both a small and large model. The impressive candlestick was designed by Constantin Wortmann. The modern version of the traditional Menorah has the familiar and curvy Cobra silhouette, while the candlestick's eye-catching arms and curved base honor the classic Chanukkah Menorah.
Light: Handmade candles for Chanukkah from Kunstindustrien. There are 12 candles in a pack and they are available in several different colors. They are colored all the way through and are made of 100% paraffin.
Postcard: We have various postcards with motifs of Jewish customs and traditions. The designs are made by Jewish artists, each with their own expression.
Tote bag: When you walk around the museum, you move around in a word. The word is "Mitzvah" or "the commandment of good deeds" in Danish. The world-renowned architect, Daniel Libeskind, considered the rescue of the Danish Jews in October 1943 to be Denmark's "Mitzvah" and used the Hebrew letters from the word to design the logo and the floor plan for the museum's physical setting.
