An Italian Journey: Discovering the Jewish Cultural Heritage
A temporary exhibit at Italy’s National Museum of Italian Judaism and the Shoah (MEIS) in Ferrara uses archival photographs, documents, and correspondence to “rethink” Italy’s Jewish heritage and show how it is an integral part of the country’s landscape and history.
Called “An Italian Journey: Discovering the Jewish Cultural Heritage,” the exhibit opened October 10 and will run until June 14, 2026.
The contents of the exhibition come from two archives: the collection of Ernő Munkácsi in the Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives in Budapest, which features images of Jewish Italy gathered between 1927 and 1940, and the photographic and documentary archive of the Federazione delle Associazioni Culturali Ebraiche (Federation of Jewish Cultural Associations), from the 1920s and 1930s.
