May 14, online event

After five years, the #ItaliaEbraica project is renewed and becomes Jewish Italy around the world. Each month we will get to know a new museum and discover the paths that connect distant places with our ‘Jewish Italy.’
Each International Jewish Museum will present online on Zoom an object or a masterpiece from its collection that tells a part of Italian history.

The last meeting of the season will be held on zoom on Thursday, May 14 at 6:30 (CEST/Italian time) and it will be dedicated to the presentation of Amsterdam’s Jewish Cultural Quarter!

At the Jewish Cultural Quarter in Amsterdam, more than 400 years of Dutch Jewish history, culture, and heritage can be found, spread across five locations. The collections, however, also contain objects from all corners of the world, owing in part to the international character and history of Amsterdam’s Jewish community. In this presentation, Lisa de Goffau (curator) will guide you through the Italian Jewish heritage represented in the collection, as we explore the longstanding relationship between the communities in Italy and Amsterdam.

Greetings from Amedeo Spagnoletto – Director of MEIS

 Speaker: Lisa de Goffau – Curator (Jewish Cultural Quarter, Amsterdam)

The meeting will be in English with simultaneous translation into Italian.
