Core Collection - The Museum features two core exhibitions. An American Story chronicles the immigrant experience, development of Cleveland, Civil Rights Movement, and the Holocaust. The Temple-Tifereth Israel Gallery displays the internationally renowned collection of Judaica from its namesake synagogue. Tours of the collections include the topics of immigration and assimilation, the Holocaust and Civil Rights Movement, Cleveland history, and Jewish faith and traditions. Students in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District also receive free admission, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to experiencing the Museum. As part of its core collection, The Maltz Museum is now home to two interactive biographies, of a Holocaust survivor and of a civil rights activist. Through advanced filming techniques, specialized display technologies, and natural language processing, the experiences of these two upstanders against hate have been preserved in a format that allows audiences to interact with their images as if they were actually present in the same room. For years to come, visitors will see these upstanders in high-definition, hear their voices, absorb their eyewitness accounts of history in the making, and draw inspiration from their courage and commitment to nonviolent change.

Stop the Hate - Every year the Stop the Hate program gives thousands of students across Northeast Ohio a means of understanding and responding to acts of bias and hate in their own communities. Through museum tours, teaching-artist workshops, creative projects, and contests culminating in an awards ceremony, this program targets students in middle and high school, an impressionable age for learning the critical thinking skills and empathy they will need to lead their communities to a more accepting, inclusive future. The Museum prioritizes the needs of students from underserved school districts by providing free transportation and admission to all Stop the Hate workshop participants.
