Bringing together more than 200 works spanning centuries of artistic and cultural history, Identity, Culture, and Community explores the richness and diversity of Jewish experience through objects, ritual works, contemporary art, and historical artifacts drawn from the Jewish Museum’s collection. The exhibition creates a dialogue between past and present, weaving together themes of memory, belonging, migration, spirituality, and collective identity. Archaeological artifacts and ceremonial objects are presented alongside modern and contemporary painting, sculpture, photography, and installation, revealing how art can preserve traditions while continually redefining cultural narratives. Special focus galleries deepen this exploration through dedicated presentations examining film, community, colonial history, and contemporary artistic practices. The renewed learning spaces further extend the experience through educational displays and a monumental installation of more than 130 Hanukkah lamps from across different periods and geographies, highlighting the enduring significance of ritual, craftsmanship, and shared cultural heritage.

Inspired by an imagined episode from the life of Bernard de Mandeville, this installation reflects on the fragile relationship between power, accident, and consequence. A minor domestic incident — a spilled cup of tea, an interrupted gesture, an expression fixed in a portrait — becomes the starting point for a meditation on chance and the invisible chain of events set in motion by every human action. At the center of the work is a scaled plaster interior: a vaulted room, an entrance, a half-open door, and a functioning chandelier illuminating the scene. Within this suspended and silent space stands a wax figure, motionless at the foot of a staircase, one hand extended in an ambiguous gesture of request or supplication. Balancing between theatricality and stillness, the installation evokes a world where collapse never fully arrives, yet absence and misfortune quietly persist. The domestic setting becomes a metaphorical architecture of power, uncertainty, and unresolved expectation. Viewing by appointment only.

This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to rediscover the visionary world of Giovanni Segantini, one of the leading figures of European Symbolism and Divisionism. Bringing together paintings, pastels, and drawings from important international collections, the exhibition traces the artist’s profound relationship with nature and the mountain landscape that shaped his life and imagination. For Segantini, the mountains were far more than a subject: they became a spiritual and symbolic universe through which he explored light, solitude, motherhood, labor, and the cycle of life. Suspended between realism and symbolism, his works reveal a deeply emotional vision of nature, where luminous color and atmosphere transform the Alpine landscape into a timeless, almost mystical dimension. Through over sixty works, the exhibition follows the evolution of Segantini’s artistic language, from his early Italian years to the monumental Alpine compositions created in Switzerland. Rare drawings and pastels further highlight the artist’s sensitivity and his mastery of light, atmosphere, and form. Curated by Gabriella Belli and Diana Segantini.
