Collecting Images [08]
A Certain Jewish Something

In the final exhibition in the “Collecting Images” series, the Jewish Museum Munich presents “A Certain Jewish Something,” created in conjunction with its visitors. How this exhibition has taken shape is highly unusual. Through invitations and advertisements, friends of the museum and visitors alike were asked to actively take part in creating the exhibition by bringing along “a certain Jewish something” together with a brief history of the item.

In this way a collection was built up of more than 120 objects, which comprised the familiar and the unexpected, the traditional and the enigmatic, enabling a multifaceted insight into a very personal and contemporary involvement with all things Jewish.
