Yeshiva University Museum presents exhibitions with an interdisciplinary focus that reflect the diversity of the Museum’s collection of more than 8,000 artifacts. “Our primary focus is the interpretation of Jewish history from a multi-disciplinary perspective, and we produce two types of exhibitions, usually shown concurrently,” explains former Director Sylvia A. Herskowitz. “One exhibit examines a Jewish community or historic event; the other features emerging or established contemporary artists working on Jewish themes.” Occasionally, the Museum presents traveling exhibitions.

Since its founding in 1973, Yeshiva University Museum’s changing exhibits have celebrated the culturally diverse intellectual and artistic achievements of 3,000 years of Jewish experience. The Museum provides a window into Jewish culture around the world and throughout history through its acclaimed multi-disciplinary exhibitions and award-winning publications. By educating audiences of all ages with dynamic interpretations of Jewish life, past and present, along with wide-ranging cultural offerings and programs, the Museum attracts young and old, Jewish and non-Jewish audiences.YUM's

Yeshiva University Museum’s expert educational staff has developed nationally recognized outreach programs that include working with administrators and teachers in New York City public schools to provide young students with art education as part of their school curriculum, and provide teachers with professional development. These programs are funded by the NYS Council on the Arts, Project Arts of the NYC Board of Education and the bilingual education program Title VII that is federally funded. A founding member of the Council of American Jewish Museums, Yeshiva University Museum has played a leading role in encouraging the growth of emerging museums in the U.S. and in developing conservation and preservation techniques for all Jewish museums.
