The Museum offers a range of stunning interior spaces for special events. Whether you are interested in an after-hours private tour followed by a cocktail reception in the magnificent Pritzker Hall of Reflection, hosting a speaker in the dramatic Goodman Auditorium, or an all-day conference in Museum Hall with breakout sessions in the six adjacent classrooms, we look forward to welcoming you and your guests.
Please note that the Museum offers rentals exclusively to organizations aiming to create events that specifically inform attendees of Holocaust history and/or honor the legacy and history of Holocaust victims, Survivors, and their families.
Facility and Event Rentals
Goodman Auditorium
Goodman Auditorium is an ideal location for a film presentation, lecture, panel discussion, or theatrical performance. Our in-house grand piano, set on our 450-foot stage, is the perfect accompaniment for a solo vocalist, duet, or ensemble.
Located on the first floor of the Museum, the Auditorium seats 240 audience members and is equipped with a state-of-the-art audio-visual system.
Rowe Hall
A truly versatile space, Rowe Hall can serve as a dining room for a full-service catered meal or as a lecture space for an engaging seminar. Perfect for all-day conferences and training sessions, Rowe Hall is equipped with microphones, projectors, and screens to accommodate presentations, video clips, and more.
Located on the lower level, Rowe Hall can seat 325 people theater-style, 200 people for a plated meal, and 160 people for a buffet.
Classrooms
Perfect for a small lunch meeting or conference break-out sessions, each of our six classrooms is equipped with a 47” flat-panel television for viewing movies or PowerPoint presentations. Classrooms can be configured in a variety of ways to best suit your needs. Collapsible air walls allow each room to double in size to accommodate larger groups.
The classrooms are located on the lower level directly adjacent to Museum Hall. Each classroom can hold approximately 13 people, or up to 26 people if two classrooms are combined.
