London’s Jewish Museum reopens.
THE NEW JEWISH MUSEUM OPENS THIS WEEK IN CAMDEN
(as reported in the Jewish Chronicle. Read their full article here)
The Jewish Museum in London reopens this week after a £10m expansion project. Designed by Long & Kentish architects, this triples the museum’s space. Its four main galleries are devoted to an introduction, history of British Jews, Jewish faith and the holocaust.
Founded in 1932, the Jewish Museum merged in 1995 with the Finchley-based London Museum of Jewish Life.
Museum director Rickie Burman said the team had faced the challenge of “how to reflect the Jewish community today in all its diversity”.
