The first year in our new museum was a wonderful one thanks to YOU, our visitors, as well as our volunteers, staff, and donors.
Since last May, we’ve welcomed more than 80,000 visitors, including thousands of students. We’ve hosted weddings, conferences, bar mitzvahs, holiday parties, trade shows, and many of our own events. And we’ve made a lot of new friends.
Thank you to everyone who’s supported us along the way. Here’s a look back at the past year!
