Museums der Jüdischen Gemeinde, Berlin (1927)

The fourth exhibition of Judaica, Hebraica and graphics from the Berlin Jewish community collection. Room-by-room guide to the exhibition, with synagogue textiles displayed in the foyer and ceremonial objects featured in Rooms 1 and 2. Alphabetical listing of artists. 136 (of several hundered) items listed.

For the first collection’s inaugural exhibition in 1917, see #35.

This collection, greatly expanded over the years, was eventually housed in Berlin’s first Jewish Museum, established in 1933. The museum was closed by the Nazis in 1938, and its holdings seized. Most of the objects have not been recovered. For an exhibition documenting this history, see #2039 (Berlin, 2011).
