The Jewish Museum traces 4,000 years of Jewish culture and history with a collection of 27,000 manuscripts, paintings, photographs, sculptures, and ceremonial artifacts. The museum has one of the largest collections of Judaica in the world, and also hosts special exhibitions relating to the Jewish experience in the modern world. The museum was founded in 1904 through the combined efforts of philanthropist Judge Meyer Sulzberger and the Jewish Theological Seminary. In 1947, it moved into its current home, the Gothic former mansion of Felix Warburg. In recent years it has expanded into an adjacent building to accommodate a growing collection.
