Marking 50 years of activity, the Sephardi Museum, founded in 1964 and located in the 14th century Transito (or Samuel ha-Levi) Synagogue in Toledo, expects to have welcomed some 350,000 visitors this year — a record number that tops the approximately 300,000 that visited in 2013.
Much of the increase, the Museum states, was due to interest in the exhibition “Shoah 1492-1945: In memory of the expulsion of the Spanish Jews and Holocaust victims, El Greco and Vostell, two foreigners in different times of Spain,” which was mounted as part of general events marking the 400th anniversary of the death of the painter El Greco.
