The forthcoming Museum of Polish Jewish History in Warsaw has received about $13 million in new donations from American foundations and Poland’s wealthiest man. These will greatly aid the museum to complete its exhibit installation and open to the public in October 2013.
The museum said it received a joint $7-million donation from the Koret Foundation and the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life & Culture, California-based philanthropies chaired by Tad Taube, a Polish-born American businessman.
Jan Kulczyk, a Polish oil tycoon, also announced a gift of 20 million Polish zlotys ($6 million) this week.
Museum officials hailed the gifts Wednesday, saying the money will allow them to finish the museum’s core exhibition, a multimedia space that will guide visitors chronologically from the Middle Ages to the present day.
