Jewish Museum

The Jewish Museum was the first institution of its kind in the United States and is one of the oldest Jewish museums in the world. The museum maintains a collection of nearly 30,000 artworks, ceremonial objects, and media reflecting the global Jewish experience over more than 4,000 years.

The Museum has played an integral role in the development of modern and contemporary art, showing early exhibitions by artists like Helen Frankenthaler, Ad Reinhardt, and Robert Rauschenberg, as well as landmark group exhibitions like Primary Structures. It also includes the National Jewish Archive of Broadcasting, the largest body of broadcast materials on 20th-century Jewish culture in the US.

The Jewish Museum offers talks, performances, and classes, as well as the yearly New York Jewish Film Festival in partnership with The Film Society of Lincoln Center.

Admission is free for Hunter students with a student ID.
