It is widely admired for its exhibitions and educational programs that inspire people of all backgrounds. The Jewish Museum hosts a wide range of family and cultural programs, including concerts, lectures and the annual New York Jewish Film Festival.

Today, The Jewish Museum maintains an important collection of 26,000 objects – paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, archaeological artifacts, ceremonial objects, and broadcast media.
