Jewish museums: Foundation Histories and Current Positionings @ Simon Dubnow Institute and online
May 11 @ 17:15 – 18:45
Jewish museums: Foundation Histories and Current Positionings @ Simon Dubnow Institute and online | Leipzig | Sachsen | Germany

For German speakers, we want to highlight an upcoming lecture series about Jewish museums in Europe, held both digitally and at the Simon Dubnow Institute, each Thursday in June, with an introductory lecture on May 11.   (For digital events, you will find the access link on the Dubnow Institute homepage a few days before the event. Registration is not required.)

Talks focus on:

Why, when, where, and on behalf of whom is and was the exhibition of Jewish history regarded as relevant? What actors have supported the establishment of Jewish Museums, and who has tried to prevent them?

A focus will also lie on the manner in which Jewish history has been exhibited in the past and present, and how it could be exhibited in future: What narratives have exhibitions developed? What objects are regarded and conveyed as Jewish? What emphases are placed and what omissions have there been? What is the future of Jewish Museums?
