A new exhibition of some objects from the impressive collection of the U. Nahon Museum of Italian Jewish Art transports visitors into the flourishing world of Italian Jewish culture.
The newly renovated Museum's permanent exhibition MADE IN ITALY: The Material Side of Spiritual Objects displays precious artistic items of Italian Baroque and Rococo and later, highlighting their material and artistic history.
As shown in the exhibition logo, which reflects the Museum’s new format, the exhibit is arranged according to materials and techniques: ornate metalwork in the first room, textiles in the second, carved wooden furniture in the third, and hand-decorated parchments in the fourth.
Beautiful and rare artistic treasures—including recently discovered items and restored objects—are exhibited to the public for the first time.
