HAIM STEINBACH - Identity, Culture, and Community: Stories from the Collection of the Jewish Museum and Pruzan Family Center for Learning, The Jewish Museum, New York, États-Unis


  • The Jewish Museum 1109 5th Ave at 92nd St New York, NY 10128 USA (map)

Oct. 24, 2025 — Ongoing

Featuring more than 200 works, Identity, Culture, and Community: Stories from the Collection of the Jewish Museum unfolds across the Museum’s third floor in a thematic and chronologically integrated presentation of its unparalleled holdings. The installation design supports the display of art and objects of vastly varying scale and materiality, from delicate archaeological artifacts and Jewish ceremonial works to large-scale contemporary painting and sculpture. The Museum’s renewed and newly opened fourth floor features the Pruzan Family Center for Learning, where art and objects from the collection are displayed in gallery settings, adjacent to facilities for educational programming and hands-on artmaking. These two floors are joined visually by a renovated double-height gallery crowned by a dramatic, monumentally scaled installation of more than 130 Hanukkah lamps from around the world, and from antiquity to the present day, underscoring the central meaning of light as a symbol of enlightenment and hope across cultures.
