The Jewish Museum
The Jewish Museum, located in the 1908 Warburg Mansion, hosts a sizeable collection of artworks and Judaica in addition to putting on temporary exhibitions of contemporary and modern art. In addition to a restaurant with an Uptown location of the renowned Lower East Side distributors of Kosher delicacies like lox, sable, and whitefish, there is a permanent exhibit designed specifically for kids.
The Jewish Museum is a unique center for art and Jewish culture for people of all backgrounds, and it is situated on New York City's renowned Museum Mile. The museum, one of the oldest Jewish museums in the world, was established in 1904 and was the first organization of its kind in the United States. The museum maintains a unique collection of nearly 30,000 works of art, ceremonial objects, and media reflecting the global Jewish experience over more than 4,000 years and is dedicated to exploring art and Jewish culture from ancient to contemporary. The museum also offers a variety of exhibitions and programs.
The museum does an incredible job of presenting exhibitions about interesting cultural figures (Leonard Cohen, Helena Rubenstein) or movements (Memphis Design, Early Soviet Photography) through the lens of Judaism. The shows tend to be well curated, thoughtfully presented, and beautifully designed—more for the serious art buff than the casual tourist.
