Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "In 1996 the Skirball Museum in Los Angeles opened its doors to a new era. The central component of the recently completed Skirball Cultural Center, the museum is home to one of the most significant Judaica art collections in the Western Hemisphere. Curatorial and academic scholars come together in this volume to discuss the museum's origins and its extensive collections, which encompass four thousand years of Jewish historical experience. Full-color illustrations showing objects from each of the museum's collection categories are accompanied by essays explaining the significance of the art. The two final chapters document the museum's core inaugural presentations, Visions and Values: Jewish Life from Antiquity to America, and the ancient Near Eastern history and archaeology exhibits of the Discovery Center. The museum's more than 25,000 objects reveal much about daily life, beliefs, customs, worship, human yearnings, and artistic achievement from biblical to contemporary times. They reflect Jewish life in virtually every corner of the globe and will inspire new chapters of Jewish cultural history. At the same time, the museum is committed to exploring American Jewish life in the context of American society as a whole. Over the years the Skirball Museum has continually expanded its meaning and purpose in a changing world. The valuable repository in the Skirball Cultural Center offers rich learning opportunities for anyone seeking to understand the human spirit through art. / Grace Cohen Grossman is Curator of the Skirball Museum and author of Jewish Art (1995)." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Visions and Values: Culmination and Beginning, by Uri D.
