4.3 (10)Housed in historic Congregation Rodeph Shalom, this museum explores the Jewish experience through contemporary art.
Description
Since 1975, the museum has mounted solo and group exhibitions across a broad range of mediums by artists of diverse backgrounds. Alongside rotating shows in its special-exhibit gallery, the permanent collection features works by artists such as William Anastasi, Chaim Gross, Joan Snyder, Boaz Vaadia, and Roman Vishniac. The experience is intimate and manageable in an afternoon, set within a synagogue building that stands between neoclassical and art deco architectural styles.
