About Our Collection
The Museum's core exhibition is organized around three chronological
themes, Jewish Life A Century Ago, The War Against the Jews,
and Jewish Renewal, each told on a separate floor. Every year the
Museum sponsors special exhibitions within the Museum, and traveling exhibitions
throughout the U.S. and beyond.
