Discover the intersection of art and Jewish culture!
Vincent Stracquadanio, a member of Fordham’s visual arts faculty and an educator at the Jewish Museum, will lead a very special tour of Scenes from the Collection, an exhibition of more than 600 works—from antiquities to contemporary art—from the museum’s rotating collection. Many will be on display for the first time.
The Jewish Museum is dedicated to the enjoyment, understanding, and preservation of the artistic and cultural heritage of the Jewish people through its unparalleled collections, distinguished exhibitions, and related education programs. Using art and artifacts that embody the diversity of the Jewish experience throughout the world from ancient to present times, the museum strives to be a source of inspiration and shared human values for people of all religious and cultural backgrounds, serving as a special touchstone of identity for Jewish people.
The tour will begin at 11 a.m. and will be followed by lunch at Paola’s Restaurant, which is located a block away from the museum.
The cost of this event is $70 per person, including lunch.
A reminder email with additional information will be sent to registrants one week prior to the event.
This event is co-sponsored by Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies.
