Enjoy over 120 works—paintings, decorative arts, illuminated manuscripts, and Judaica—amassed by family members and borrowed from numerous private and public collections.The Sassoons explores themes such as discrimination, diaspora, colonialism, global trade, and war that not only shaped the history of the family but continue to define our world today. The Wall Street Journal writes, “‘The Sassoons’ is an ingenious reconstruction of the lives inside the legends.” (full article here). More exhibit information here.
