Jewish Museums of the World

This book celebrates more than 150 Jewish museums across the globe whose collections are as diverse as the cultures in which they are situated.

This large format book, with approximately 300 colour illustrations, features the prize collections of the diverse Jewish museums around the world, whose scope spans ceremonial to fine arts to history.

An engaging text by the noted scholar, and curator of the Skirball Cultural Center Museum in Los Angeles, Dr Grace Cohen Grossman, describes the history of each of the collections, and talks about their core collections.

A directory of all the museums contained in the book, including phone, fax, e-mail, and web sites, make this book as useful as it is beautiful.
