Since its founding in 1984, The Contemporary Jewish Museum (The CJM) has distinguished itself as a welcoming place where visitors can connect with one another through dialogue and shared experiences with the arts. Ever changing, The CJM is a non-collecting institution that partners with national and international cultural institutions to present exhibitions that are both timely and relevant and represent the highest level of artistic achievement and scholarship.

The CJM makes the diversity of the Jewish experience relevant for a twenty-first century audience. This is accomplished through innovative exhibitions and programs that educate, challenge, and inspire.
