Left vacant for many years, the former synagogue was repurposed as a Jewish museum, called the Galerija-Muzej Lendava, in the mid-1990s.

It is a boxy, rectangular brick structure with a peaked roof, designed in the Classical Revival or Biedermeier style.

Heavily damaged by the Germans, the building was sold to the town after the World War II by the Jewish Federation of Yugoslavia and was used as a warehouse.

[3] Work began in 1994 to renovate the synagogue for use as a culture center which will also have an exhibition on local Jewish history in the women's gallery.

The only original interior decorative elements remaining in the building are six fluted cast iron pillars supporting a rebuilt gallery, plus stairway railings and a small niche in the stairwell.
