Jewish Museum Milwaukee

The Chagall tapestry, the Museum's largest artifact

Jewish Museum Milwaukee Open; Community Open House on June 22, 2008

The Jewish Museum Milwaukee celebrates the continuum of Jewish heritage and culture, through artifacts, film, photographs and a unique timeline. The Museum presents the story of the Jewish people who made their way to southeastern Wisconsin through successive waves of immigration in the 19th and 20th centuries and describes the life and the community they built in the years that followed. Other areas of the Museum focus on the Holocaust and on the founding of Israel, with special emphasis on Golda Meir, a Russian immigrant to Milwaukee who went on to become the fourth prime minister of Israel.

On Sunday, June 22, there will be a reception for members from 10:00 AM to noon and then the museum will be open to visitors from noon to 4:00 PM.
