Verbal Description Tour

For Visitors who are Blind or have Low Vision

Nov. 19, 2025 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
3rd & 4th Floor Exhibition Galleries

Visitors who are blind or have low vision are invited to join us for a Verbal Description Tour exploring Identity, Culture, and Community: Stories from the Collections of the Jewish Museum

The Jewish Museum’s collection galleries trace the rich history of Jewish culture across the global diaspora. It will explore topics such as Jewish ritual, migration, memory, identity, feminist art, and how Jewish identity and experience are being interpreted in contemporary works. The two floor installation will be joined visually by a monumentally scaled installation of more than 120 Hanukkah lamps, underscoring the central meaning of light as a symbol of enlightenment and hope across cultures.

All Access Programs are free of charge and require advance reservation. If you have any questions or need accommodations, please contact [email protected] or 212.423.3289. If you are interested in observing this program, please reach out to us before registering.
