Description

The first Jewish museum in the States, it resides in a beautiful bygone-era Fifth Avenue mansion, pristinely renovated to host comprehensive collections of Jewish themes and artists. Visitors praise its diverse, well-curated exhibitions, from Paul Klee to Anish Kapoor: Early Works, often enjoyed without crowds. The unique gift shop is a highlight, though note that free Saturday admission coincides with a closed cafeteria.
