Contemporary Jewish Museum : Behind the Scenes

Please join us on:


Saturday, May 17 at 2pm


Glen Park Program Room


Representatives from the new Contemporary Jewish Museum, opening on June 8, 2008 will be visiting the library to talk about the museum.


You will learn about the new Daniel Libeskind-designed building, which is an adaptive reuse of a San Francisco landmark that combines original historical details with bold contemporary spaces. You will also hear about the symbolism embedded in the architecture and about upcoming exhibitions and programs, including the Museum’s inaugural exhibitions, In the Beginning: Artists Respond to Genesis and From New Yorker to Shrek: The Art of William Steig, and its plans to host a StoryCorps StoryBooth.

And everyone present will receive a free pass to the museum!
