About The Magnes Museum: Founded in 1962, the Judah L. Magnes Museum explores the depth, vitality, and complexity of Jewish life and culture. The Magnes accomplishes this mission by presenting important exhibitions that draw on its rich collections of fine arts and ceremonial objects, the archives of the Western Jewish History Center, and the Blumenthal Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Through innovative educational programs, special exhibitions and publications, the Magnes engages with significant issues in contemporary life, promotes public dialogue and scholarship, and encourages the understanding of the Jewish past for present and future generations, serving as a vital cultural resource for the entire community.
