The Jewish Museum

The New York City-based museum houses a collection of almost 30,000 works of art, ceremonial objects, and media that encompass more than 4,000 years of Jewish culture.

Preserving the Artistic and Cultural Heritage of the Jewish People

Founded in 1904 in the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) of America — where it remained for nearly four decades — the Jewish Museum is now located along New York City's Museum Mile. The institution promotes the enjoyment, understanding, and preservation of the artistic and cultural heritage of the Jewish people through its extensive collection of antiques, ceremonial objects, and notable exhibitions. The museum presents talks, lectures, performances, and interactive events to engage students, educators, and visitors of all ages and backgrounds.
