  • Celebration Civilization Culture Contributions Contributors
    PRESENTED BY THE ASPER FOUNDATION Celebration Civilization Culture Contributions Contributors TEL AVIV, ISRAEL Celebration Civilization Culture Contributions Contributors PRESENTED BY THE ASPER FOUNDATION 2017 A Frank Gehry museum for Tel Aviv, Israel The World’s Jewish Museum is the most ambitious and far-reaching project of its kind today. To be located in Tel Aviv, it will exhibit the spectacular array of Jewish ideas, education, thought, and creativity in every conceivable field. It engages visually and intellectually—and on a grand scale—with all things Jewish over the course of humanity’s journey. Judaism is writ large in global history, and the museum aims very high in its architecture, exhibits, scope, and passion. 6 PRESENTED BY THE ASPER FOUNDATION THE VISION The World’s Jewish Museum represents a positive paradigm focused on linking past and present contributions—with an outlook to the future. Most crucially, the World’s Jewish Museum will enhance the bond between Israel and the global Jewish population through the strengthening of its collective identity. This museum will attest to the significance of outstanding Jewish attainment and intellectual output and showcase the ways in which these contributions have shaped the path of humankind. Exhibitions and programs will also document the connection between the world’s Jewish peoples and the land of Israel. Why create the World’s Jewish Museum? The remarkable contributions of the Jewish people in the modern era—far out of proportion to their small number—is a cause for celebration and a subject for exploration. Their contributions and personalities are manifest. Whether working in a laboratory or a place of business, Jewish thinkers have transformed fundamental elements of modern life for all the world’s citizens.
