1. “Scenes from the Collection”
This ongoing, rotating exhibition features pieces selected from the museum's permanent collection of Jewish historical artifacts and contemporary art.
The Jewish Museum, housed in the 1908 Warburg Mansion on the Upper East Side, mounts temporary exhibitions of contemporary and modern art and also has a substantial collection of artworks as well as historical Jewish artifacts. There is a permanent exhibit specifically for children, as well as a restaurant that includes an Uptown outpost of Russ & Daughters, the iconic Lower East Side purveyors of Kosher delicacies like lox, sable and whitefish. Along with its Fifth Avenue neighbors the Guggenheim and the Metropolitan Museum, the Jewish Museum is a must-see stop during NYC’s annual Museum Mile celebration.
