Tuesday Treasures w/ Sean Martin, Tuesday, May 12th at 1 pm
Hidden in the Maltz Museum's collection are objects that have waited years, sometimes decades, to have their stories told. In Tuesday Treasures, curators Katya Oicherman and Sean Martin pull back the curtain on never-before-seen artifacts, uncovering the surprising, moving, and untold histories behind them. Each session offers a rare, intimate look at the remarkable objects connected to stories that goes far beyond what's on display, deepening your connection to the stories that shaped American-Jewish communities. And with a new story waiting to be uncovered every other month, there's always a reason to come back.
