TOLERANCE CENTER. JUDAICA. HISTORY. ART

The Tolerance Center of the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum is located in a historical building. Originally, back at the end of the 19th century, the Association of Cheap Jewish Cafeterias set up an operation where those with no means of support could eat for free or for a nominal price, on the corner of Aguonu and Naugarduko Streets in Vilnius. In 1910 the interior of the building was reconstructed and a large philharmonic hall was set up inside. After World War I a professional Jewish theatre operated here and cultural and social events by other organisations were held. The building was transferred to the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum in 1989.
