Museum of Fine Arts, Boston | Exploring Jewish History and Art: Boston's First Judaica Gallery @mfaboston | Uploaded 5 months ago | Updated 1 day ago
Take a closer look at highlights from the MFA’s new Judaica gallery and learn the stories behind them. Almost every work of art in “Intentional Beauty: Jewish Ritual Art from the Collection” is a recent acquisition on display at the Museum for the very first time. Who created these objects and why? Who owned them? What do they tell us about Jewish life? From a Yemenite women’s headdress and an Indian Haggadah to a Venetian Renaissance textile and a Torah ark from Chelsea, Massachusetts, these works express the extraordinary diversity of Jewish cultures and customs.
