The story of Jews in America is the
quintessential immigration story. Pioneers, cowboys, entrepreneurs, and
artists are its protagonists. Freedom and transformation are its themes.
Since 1976, the National Museum of American Jewish History has
committed itself to sharing the American Jewish experience on
Independence Mall in Philadelphia. Its collections have grown. Its
vision has expanded. The opportunity to share a wholly engaging story
has emerged, and the dream has taken hold.
In the fall of 2010 that dream will become reality when the National
Museum of American Jewish History opens the doors of a state-of-the-art
museum on Independence Mall. Sited between Independence Hall and the
Liberty Bell, and designed by James Stewart Polshek, this brand-new
100,000 square-foot facility, with its glowing, translucent facade,
will feature five floors of interactive exhibition space as well as one
of the
nation’s largest collection of Jewish Americana.
We invite you to join us in this decidedly bold venture. With your
generous support, you can play a vitally important role in the creation
of the new National Museum of American Jewish History. Please visit the Museum for exhibitions
about American Jewish life, as well as our website to check the
progress of construction.
We’re breaking new ground. Our journey continues. Join us.
