Celebrating America With a Special Graphic Installation at the National Library of Israel!
You are invited to view a special graphic installation at the National Library of Israel – “A New World: American Jewry in the Collections of the National Library.”
This graphic installation, inspired by the collections of the National Library of Israel, presents key moments in the story of American Jewry, by way of unique items from the National Library collections. They tell a story of immigration and assimilation, community and creativity, and the connection between Jews and the United States of America.
The graphic installation will be on display in The Robert and Ruth Magid Hall in honor of Dr. Herbert. V. Evatt, Foreign Minister of Australia, in the Level -1 lobby, just outside the reading halls. Simply stop by during the Library’s opening hours and explore these rare and fascinating items, free of charge!
The installation will open this August. Watch this space!
