Summary/Abstract: In 2005, the Jewish Museum in Prague (JMP) remained the most visited museum in the Czech Republic and its business results almost reached last year’s levels, which were its highest to date. The following report points to the successful development of the JMP in all areas of its activities. Since coming into being as a non-state institution in October 1994, the JMP has gradually repaired and reconstructed all the buildings that it uses for its operations. The Brandýs nad Labem Synagogue, which was to have become another depository for part of the JMP’s book collections, is being used by the JMP only on a temporary basis. Under a decision by the JMP’s Board of Trustees, therefore, a long-term lease has been arranged for this property and work began in 2005 on necessary repairs to newly acquired space in Prague 4 for the requirements of the book depository.
