Participants with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and their care partners are invited to join a lively and creative virtual program that encourages personal connections to original works of art and each other.

About Sacred Splendor: Jewish Ritual Art and Christian Treasures from St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague:
Through an exploration of objects from Jewish and Christian communities in medieval and early modern Central Europe, Sacred Splendor presents themes of devotion, memory, and sacred space. The exhibition highlights extraordinary reliquaries from the treasury of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague alongside objects from the Jewish Museum’s holdings, loans from public collections across Europe and the United States, and contemporary artwork. Together, these works tell stories about the similarities and differences between Jewish and Christian religion and art.

This program will also be offered in-person.
