Formerly the Nahum Goldmann Museum of the Jewish Diaspora (, "The Diaspora House" or "Beit Hatfutsot" in Hebrew), the museum launched a large-scale renewal in 2016, adding a new wing with rotating temporary exhibitions, the Alfred H. Moses and Family Synagogue Hall featuring synagogue scale models, and "Heroes - Trailblazers of the Jewish People", a children's interactive exhibition. Museum renovations will culminate with the opening of a new permanent core exhibition in early 2020. It is a center for Jewish discourse, engagement, education and research, encompassing a pluralistic and comprehensive worldview.
