In preparation for our own exhibit in April 2024. Join us as we partner with EMU’s Center for Jewish Studies for this deep dive into the making of the Lillian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC.
In a 21st-century museum, how do we translate the latest scholarly knowledge to reach a broad audience and make effective use of three-dimensional exhibit space? In a community-based museum, how do we develop stories in which community members can recognize themselves, but also see history in new ways, including how myth and memory have sometimes clouded — or even misrepresented —history they thought they knew?
And how do we do all of that Jewishly?
