Full Description
Masterpieces Of Judaica
Since the beginning of the diaspora, the myriad of communities
throughout the world where Jews settled have influenced Jewish life and
art. This exchange between Jewish and non-Jewish cultures has generated
a rich variety of Judaica, however it was only in the late nineteenth
century that a conscious attempt was made to establish Jewish museums
to preserve the Jewish heritage. Jewish Museums of the World celebrates
these important museums. This large format book showcases the
incredible array of Jewish art, manuscripts, books, ceremonial objects,
and historic artifacts that have been produced and collected in North
America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Featured
museums include: The Jewish Museum, New York; Skirball Cultural Center,
Los Angeles; The Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Beth Hatefutsoth, Tel Aviv;
and the Jewish Historical Museum, Amsterdam. 250 four-color
illustrations, as well as a directory with phone, fax, and website
information on the 200 museums visited in this book are included.
