Passover Seder from the Collection
The Jewish Museum on 5th Avenue and 92nd Street is graciously allowing patrons to visit free of charge through December 2020. However, one must make a reservation for a specific time slot. I last visited the museum on December 26, 2019, a few months before the pandemic forced all cultural institutions to close.
Wes started on the ground floor where we viewed the works of Rachel Feinstein that we saw last December.

The second floor was devoted to an exhibit called We Fight to Build a Free World: An Exhibition by Jonathan Horowitz. He is a New York-based artist who looks at how artists have historically responded to the rise of authoritarianism and xenophobia as well as racism, anti-Semitism, and other forms of bigotry. The exhibition also addresses issues surrounding immigration, assimilation, and cultural identity.
The third floor was "Scenes from the Collection, a rotating collection exhibition that features nearly 600 works from antiquities to contemporary art—many of which are on view for the first time. I always enjoyed viewing the Channukah menorahs on display.
