ABOUT THE MAGNES COLLECTION OF JEWISH ART AND LIFE
The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life was established in 2010 at The Bancroft Library after the transfer of the Judah L. Magnes Museum to the University of California, Berkeley. Its remarkably diverse archive, library and museum holdings include art, objects, texts, music and historical documents about the Jews in the Global Diaspora and the American West. As one of the preeminent Jewish collections in the world, it provides highly innovative and accessible resources to scholars and visitors.
The Magnes's new home in downtown Berkeley (Fall 2011) will accommodate deep research, as well as offer the general public a place to gather for exhibitions, lectures, performances and other events that foster community, learning, and growth.
On Flickr
The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life has been on Flickr since 2007, thanks to a curatorial effort aimed at sharing collection information and encouraging collaborative projects online. Our photostream showcases a variety of projects, including the Jewish Digital Narratives, From the Dusty Archives..., Memory Lab, as well as the Jewish Art and Jewish Life collections. The photostream also includes images of exhibitions installation shots, public events, press kits, and other informational materials. Flickr is an essential component of our digital programs.
