It’s been a busy time for events at the museum

by Karen Brosh, Commercial Manager

In just one week we had an exhibition launch, a barmitzvah party and a birthday reception.

An evening reception to open our new exhibition brought in a fantastic crowd. We loved seeing the veterans in their military regalia exploring the Jewish experience of the First World War.

Saturday night saw the museum transformed with a red carpet, sparkling dance floor, DJ booth and a Beatles cover band entertaining 190 barmitzvah guests.  Best part of the evening? A smiling, happy hostess and a barmitzvah boy enjoying the party!

Once the party was over there was just enough time to get ready to be open at 10am on Sunday morning for our regular visitors.  Then we transformed the museum again with white linen table cloths and beautiful flowers for an elegant birthday celebration on Monday.
