A revived Jewish Museum tells the diaspora story – The Forward”

The Jewish Museum in New York has reopened its reimagined core exhibition, Identity, Culture and Community: Stories from the Collection, after a £14.5 million renovation. Spread across the third and fourth floors, it showcases over 200 objects spanning two millennia, exploring Jewish adaptation, creativity and survival. Highlights include a 1st-century Arch of Titus engraving, Torah artefacts, hidden Holocaust paintings, and modern feminist ritual art. Director James S. Snyder positions the museum as a space showing Jews within, not apart from, global culture.
