As part of the commitment of the National Jewish Museum^® to the recovery of Holocaust-era cultural assets, we are pleased to offer a Holocaust Art Resource List as well as selected art postings in the form of a virtual gallery from the holdings of the National Jewish Museum^®.

First established in the B'nai B'rith Phillip and Ethel Klutznick Exhibit Hall in 1957, the B’nai B’rith Klutznick National Jewish Museum includes art and artifacts that reveal a fascinating cross section of Jewish life and culture.

Among the museum's treasures on view are ceremonial and folk art, coin collections, maps, photographs, paintings and sculptures by artists including Marc Chagall, Ben Zion, Yosl Bergner and Philip Ratner. Plaques devoted to athletes included in The American Jewish Sports Hall of Fame are also on view.

Currently, the museum is presenting a virtual gallery of selected artifacts online. Please visit the museum's virtual gallery by clicking here.

Appointments for visits and tours are arranged in advance by calling 202-857-6647 or e-mailing museum@bnaibrith.org.

The Philip Lax Archive (B'nai B'rith Archives), under the aegis of the National Jewish Museum®, illuminates not only B'nai B'rith's proud history but also historic moments in Jewish history as far back as 1700. The archive's thousands of manuscripts, charters, medals, letters, memorabilia and other artifacts represent a treasured primary resource for researchers.

The B'nai B'rith Holocaust-Related Materials Collection, assembled in 2006 from the archives, was made possible by a generous grant from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, Inc. — Rabbi Israel Miller Fund for Shoah Research, Documentation and Education. This collection adds significant new dimensions to Holocaust scholarship.

Researchers requesting access to the Philip Lax Archive should e-mail museum@bnaibrith.org or call 202-857-6647.
