Visitors who are blind or have low vision are invited to join us for a teleconference tour exploring works Identity, Culture, and Community: Stories from the Collection of the Jewish Museum

The Jewish Museum’s collection galleries on the third floor trace the rich history of Jewish culture across the global diaspora. The exhibition explores topics such as Jewish ritual, migration, memory, identity, feminist art, and the ways that contemporary artists interpret Jewish identity and experience in their work. The new Pruzan Family Center for Learning on the fourth floor includes a monumental installation of more than 130 Hanukkah lamps, underscoring the central meaning of light as a symbol of enlightenment and hope across cultures.

This program is presented with captioning through Zoom. The Jewish Museum is committed to making its virtual programs accessible to all. Please let us know if you need any additional accommodations, including live CART interpretation or ASL interpretation. The Jewish Museum is committed to making its programs accessible to all.
