From a 1642 Baroque synagogue in Poland to Daniel Libeskind’s avant-garde Jewish Museum Berlin, from recent discoveries in the medieval Jewish sector of Girona, Spain, to the Sephardi Museum of Caracas, this volume celebrates nearly 150 Jewish museums around the globe whose collections are as diverse as the cultures in which they are situated. More than 340 color illustrations showcase the museums’ prize collections, from ceremonial objects to fine arts to historical artifacts. Dr. Grace Cohen Grossman, Senior Curator of Judaica and Americana at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California, provides the engaging and authoritative text. A directory of all the museums contained in the book, as well as other important sites of Jewish historical interest, along with phone, fax, and website information, allow you to take a virtual tour of the museums or plan your own visit.

416 pages, 451 illustrations (343 in color). 10 3/4 in. x 14 in. Includes a directory of museums. Hardcover; clothbound, with jacket.
