There's not loads to see in this former synagogue, and at 50rmb a ticket, it's kinda pricey, but if you're interested in the lives of the 30,000 Jewish refugees who settled in Shanghai before and during the Second World War, this is the place to go. There are two permanent exhibits with artifacts from the time this area in Hongkou was a Jewish ghetto, plus an exhibition space with more general shows about Judaism. In the surrounding streets, some of the buildings used by Jewish organizations back in the 1930s and '40s still stand.
