Minutes of the Annual General Meeting of the Association Of Minutes of the Annual General Meeting of the Association of European Jewish Museums held at The Black Diamond of The Royal Library in Copenhagen (DK) November 22, 2016 Chair: Hanno Loewy Board: Bernhard Purin, Joanne Rosenthal, Lucja Koch, Erika Perahia-Zemour Minutes: Eva Koppen (AEJM Sr. Project Manager) 1. Those present See attendance list in Appendix 2. Minutes of the last meeting The minutes of the AEJM Annual General Meeting 2015, held at The Israel Museum in Jerusalem on 17 November 2015, were approved. 3. Chairman’s Report Hanno Loewy In order to inform the AEJM members in advance, the invitation and agenda of the AGM was sent out to all members on October 24, 2016. This mailing included a proposal for an update of the Practical Standard Regulations, an overview of new membership applications, and an application to the Board by Christina Meri. This January Anita Christensen from Oslo (NO) took over the position of Community Manager from Ardjuna Candotti, who was appointed Programme Manager Education & Exhibitions at the East Indies Commemoration Centre. Although the Brexit immediately impacted the AEJM financially, 2016 has been a good year until so far. The AEJM organized 2 curatorial seminars and a seminar on museum education and has granted 3 member institutions an expert visit in the framework of the Advisory Visits Grant Programme. In 2017 the AEJM intends to organize a “Sephardic Year”, holding all its activities at locations that are rooted in Sephardic traditions and heritage: Amsterdam, Izmir, London, Venice and Toledo. 4. Treasurer’s Report Bernhard Purin Membership Fees In 2016 the AEJM was able to collect almost all annual membership fees from its members. Nevertheless the proces of collecting the fees throughout the year is rather time- consuming, as the management has to put a lot of extra effort into members that do not pay their respective invoices on time. The AEJM therefore added extra adminitration costs to invoices that had not been paid by September. The invoices for 2017 will be sent out early January. Funding & Grants Through the Jewish Museum Berlin the German Federal Foreign Office funded the Advanced Curatorial Education Programmes 2016 in Southern Germany // Vorarlberg and in Saint Petersburg. The David Berg Foundation supported the Museum Education Seminar 2016 in Vilnius with a full grant. This is the final year of the DBF’s support to the MES. In 2015 the Rothschild Foundation (Hanadiv) Europe renewed its grant to the AEJM for the years 2015-2018. This grant enables the AEJM to cover costs for the Advisory Visits Grant Programme, programme costs of the Annual Conference, and selected travel grants for the A-CEP and the Conference, as well as to operational costs such as staffing and mainting its website. As an immediate result of the Brexit and the drop of the pound sterling, the AEJM received the 2016 grant of 50,000 GPB as 58,995 EUR, which is more than 10,000 EUR less than the 69,765 EUR as received in 2015. The AEJM had estimated the RF’s contribution to the 2016 budget at 64,000 EUR and thus faced an effective loss of ca. 5,000 EUR. The RF also supports the AEJM with an extra grant for the pilot edition of Jewish Museums Today: Public & Space. This new programme initiative is scheduled for February 2017. Adoption of balance sheet and statement of income & expenditures Treasurer Bernhard Purin presented the Financial Report 2016 (Jan 1 – Oct 31). At the start of the AGM the Report and the Bank Balance Sheet were handed out to those attending. In spring 2017 administration office Agaath Administraties in Amsterdam will complete the annual report, based on the administration and documentation to be provided by the AEJM management. Edwin Alkin from the Irish Jewish Museum stated that the Financial Audit Committee, consisting of Otto Lohr and himself, have checked the Financial Report 2015 (< 1 November) and the Bank Balance Sheet (1< November) of the AEJM. According to Alkin the figures are in balance with the bank statements. The new FAC will check the Financial Report and Bank Balance Sheet of the full year in spring 2016. Funding 2017 For the next year the AEJM expects for the grant from the Rothschild Foundation a similar loss and will anticipate this by including a “safe” amount in its 2017 budget. As a result, the AEJM will have to economize on both programme costs and operational costs (staffing). The AEJM and the Jewish Museum Berlin reapplied at the German Federal Foreign Office for the 2017 editions of the Advanced Curatorial Education Programme. Informally this application has been approved. The official confirmation is expected in February 2017. Researching new funding will be prioritized next year. This will include funding opportunities at Creative Europe – Collaborative Projects and private foundations. 5. Appointment of audit committee Bernhard Purin Edwin Alkin stepped down as member of the Financial Audit Committee and proposed Janne Laursen of the Danish Jewish Museum as new member. She was accepted by the membership as new member of the FAC. In 2017 the FAC will comprise of Otto Lohr and Janne Laursen. Purin thanked WG for his input in the previous two years. 6. Training and Professional Development Joanne Rosenthal, Lucja Koch and Bernhard Purin Advanced Curatorial Education Programme 2016 and programming 2017 Since 2014 the support of the German Federal Foreign Office through the JM Berlin enables the AEJM to organize 2 editions of the Advanced Curatorial Education Programme per year (until 2018), with Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek as Programme Director, assisted by Michaela Feurstein-Prasser. In 2016 the intensive 5-day seminars took place at various locations in Southern Germany and Austria (April, 15 participants) and in Saint Petersburg (September, 17 participants). The first edition had a focus on Jewish built heritage in the framework of curatorial work at Jewish museums and on temporary exhibition practice. It was organized in collaboration with the following member institutions: Jewish Museum Munich, Jewish Museum of Franconia, Jewish Culture Museum Augsburg-Schwaben, Jewish Museum Hohenems. The programme also included study visits to various synagogues in the region, as well as a workshop at the Ulm Museum. During the second edition the group explored a wide variety of collections and exhibitions across Saint Petersburg. The programme was organized in collaboration with the following members institutions: State Museum of the History of Religion, Center “Petersburg Judaica”, the Russian Museum of Ethnography. The general perception of the 2016 A-CEP editions was very good. All participants considered it to be useful, helpful, informative and inspirational for their daily practice as curator in their museum. The organisational team will implement further improvements and recommendations by participants in the 2017 editions. Joanne Rosenthal announced the upcoming editions in Izmir (April 2017) and Venice (October 2017). The AEJM will publish a call for registration for the Izmir programme later this month. Through the grants from the German Federal Foreign Office and the Rothschild Foundation (Hanadiv) Europe, the AEJM will again be able to offer travel grants to participants from member institutions with smaller financial means. Museum Education Seminar 2016 and programming 2017 The third edition of the Museum Education Seminar, supported by the David Berg Foundation, took place in July and was hosted by the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum in Vilnius. The programme focused on the theme of politics of memory and included study visits to Paneriai, Kaunas, Trakai and Žiežmariai. The MES programme was a combination of peer-to-peer education & exchange and of best practice examples. Participants were engaged to actively contribute to the programme by preparing presentations, leading discussions and workshops. The different sessions and its outcomes were documented by the participants in the MES Papers 2016 that are available online. For 2017 the AEJM plans a study visit to London, in close collaboration with the Jewish Museum London. The AEJM has finished its MES grant from the David Berg Foundation this year and will develop a new professional development programme in accordance with its new Strategic Plan 2019-2023). In between the AEJM plans to continue its programming for the education network by offering thematical study visits relevant for the work of European Jewish museums. The AEJM will not be be able to offer travel grants, but aims at keeping its programming budget-friendly through smart planning and scheduling. Advisory Visits Grant Programme In 2016 the AEJM published 2 calls for applications (April and September) for the Advisory Visits Grant Programme. The following member institutions were granted: Museum of Turkish Jews in Istanbul (collection management), Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum in Vilnius (permanent displays) and Museum “Jews in Latvia” in Riga (permanent displays). In addition, the 2015 grant to the Manchester Jewish Museum (permanent displays) was implemented in 2016. In July Joanna Fikus, Project Manager of the Core Exhibition at POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, and Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek visited Vilnius to advise Kamile Rupeikaite and her team of the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum on the development of exhibition concepts for the Litvak Culture and Art Museum, a new branch of the museum. In August Ilya Lensky and his team of the Museum “Jews in Latvia” in Riga received its consultancy visit by Bernhard Purin who advised on changes to the permanent exhibition at the present locaton of the museum. In August Mirjam Knotter, curator of the Jewish Cultural Quarter, visited Istanbul to consult Nisya Allovi and her team on collection management in the new museum space. The visit especially focused on registration of objects, using databases, collection strategies for the future. Allovi stated that after the two expert visits her museum has received over the years have been of great importance.

  • Review of Theyear's Work
    Review of theYear’s Work Melanie Aspey, Director of The Rothschild Archive Researchers Numerous visits to the London reading room have been made by members of an ambitious research project led by Pauline Prevost Marcilhacy. The project aims to record and catalogue the many thousand objects – pictures, jewels, statuary, objets d’art – presented to museums and gal- leries in France by members of the Rothschild family. Ulrich Leben, a member of the team, is a contributor to this issue of the Review. The Archive has received a number of publications and offprints from members of the research team, including Les Rothschild et la Commande architec- turale: collaboration ou maîtrise d’oeuvre, in Architectes et Commanditaires, Cas particuliers du XVIè au XXè edited by Tarek Berrada (Paris: Louvre, 2006); Charlotte de Rothschild, Artiste, Collectionneur et Mécène in Histoires d’Art – Mélanges en l’Honneur de Bruno Foucart, vol.ii, edited by B.

Texier, (Paris: 2008) and Le grand Appartement de l’Hôtel St Florentin, fleuron de l’architecture néoclassique by Fabrice Ouziel in L’Estampille / L’Objet d’Art, September 2008. Sponsored by a Rothschild family trust in France, the project is a collaborative venture with the Louvre. Dr Junji Suzuki contacted the Archive in the course of his research into the development of Japanese gardens in France. Dr Suzuki had long suspected that the Japanese gardens at Boulogne-sur-Seine, the property of Baron Edmond de Rothschild, were the work of the renowned gardener Wasuke Hata. During his visit to the Archive he was able to confirm this and also identified a picture of Mr Hata in a collection of photographs presented to the Archive in 2005 by Baroness Benjamin de Rothschild.

All its programmes have been awarded the official label of the European Year of Cultural Heritage. 2018 was the final year that AEJM and the Jewish Museum Berlin were able to benefit from a multiple-year grant from the German Federal Foreign Office, which allowed us to organise ten successful curatorial seminars in five years. The final editions of the Advanced Curatorial Education Pro- gramme were held in Frankfurt and Jerusalem. It is my pleasure to thank our organising team in Vienna, Dr. Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek and Dr. Michaela Feurstein-Prasser, for their enthusiasm and dedication that were key to turning our curatorial seminars into a success. We warmly thank our partners and sponsors, first and foremost the Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe for its continuing support. Without the commitment of the following AEJM members as partner institutions, our activities could not have been successful: the Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives in Budapest, POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, and Museum “Jews in Latvia” in Riga, the Jewish Museum Frankfurt, and The Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The AEJM team was also instrumental in organising all our activities and I would like to thank our team in Amsterdam for all their efforts: Managing Director Eva Koppen, Communication Officer Robbie Schweiger, and Conference Coordinator Nikki Boot.

  • Global Conference for Jewish Museums
    UPHEAVAL GLOBAL CONFERENCE FOR JEWISH MUSEUMS COUNCIL OF AMERICAN JEWISH MUSEUMS ASSOCIATION OF EUROPEAN JEWISH MUSEUMS APRIL 2021 Throughout the past year of the pandemic, Jewish museums have faced unprecedented challenges and have responded. They have worked together in new configurations, have been resources for new communities, and are envisioning new ways to be museums for the present and the future. The Council of American Jewish Museums is proud to present its first online, global conference for Jewish museums­­­—developed in partnership with the Association of European Jewish Museums. This year, we are collectively unpacking the topic of Upheaval—recognizing that our profession has been greatly impacted by pressing issues and the crises of our times. At the same time, however, museums are creating their own upheavals—through innovation, reconfiguration, and approaches that will reshape our work for years to come. GLOBAL CONFERENCE FOR JEWISH MUSEUMS | APRIL 2021 2 PROGRAM TUESDAYUPHEAVAL APRIL 20 11:00 AM EDT WELCOME 11:10 AM EDT JEWISH MUSEUMS: CONTEXT MATTERS For this year’s program we have come together as a global community: to address common challenges and opportunities, to build a collegial community, and to articulate implications for the worldwide field of Jewish museums. While Jewish museums around the world share many mutual concerns, each one operates within its own geographic, political, and social realities. This session explores, from various angles, how context profoundly shapes the work of Jewish museums—from Tel Aviv and Sydney, to Hohenems and Washington, DC. Speakers AVRIL ALBA Consulting Scholar, Holocaust Memorial Museum–Sydney Jewish Museum KARA BLOND Executive Director, Capital Jewish Museum HANNO LOEWY Director, Jewish Museum Hohenems DAN TADMOR CEO, ANU—Museum of the Jewish People Moderated by BARBARA KIRSHENBLATT-GIMBLETT Ronald S.
