The original Torah ark (Hebrew: Aron Kodesh) with the ornate curtain, the parochet can be seen in a photo.

The museum's permanent exhibition is contained within a former family house of the head (Vorsteher) of the local Jewish community.

The former Rödingen synagogue is the only Jewish house of worship in the western Rhineland still largely in its original condition.

In 1999 the Landschaftsverband Rheinland (LVR), a assembly of municipalities, bought the entire property with the intention of opening the buildings to the public.

The museum regularly hosts monthly lectures, workshops, seminars and concerts on Jewish religion and culture.
