"A century ago, the earliest Jewish museums sought a place in the burgeoning world of museums. They aimed to make Jewish history and heritage readily accessible to Jews and non-Jews alike, thereby promoting a greater understanding of how the traditions and culture of one people contribute to the greater worldwide community. This large-format book, with approximately 350 color illustrations, is the first to present an inclusive history of the world's Jewish museums, featuring their prize collections, whose scope spans ceremonial objects to fine arts to historical artifacts."--BOOK JACKET.
