The Jewish Museum

The preeminent museum in the United States devoted exclusively to 4,000 years of art and Jewish culture. Founded in 1904 with just 26 donated objects, the Museum has grown a thousand-fold, and its collections now comprise 26,000, ranging from archaeological artifacts to works by today’s cutting-edge artists. Whether hundreds of years old or newly created, each object collected or exhibited by the Museum embodies an aspect of a truly universal story: at once ancient and modern, global and local, material and spiritual.
