Exhibit | Time Capsules: Exploring the Permanent Collection
About
In celebrating 15 years at UC Berkeley, Time Capsules revisits ten out of the over thirty exhibitions presented since the Magnes opened the doors of its new academic home to the public. These exhibitions relied on its extensive, and ever-growing, holdings of art, books, manuscripts, and material culture, as well as different modalities in which these materials can be studied and displayed: from curatorial and scholarly forays into the collection to research projects created in collaboration with UC Berkeley Graduate and Undergraduate students, to real-life experiments with ideas borne out of courses and seminars. Each exhibition featured in Time Capsules is unique in exploring the cultures of the Jews in a global perspective, in bringing museum objects "back to life," and in offering ever-changing ways to understand the past in order to inform the future.Exhibition Team:Francesco Spagnolo and Shir Gal Kochavi, CuratorsZoe Foster, Undergraduate Curatorial ApprenticeJulie Franklin, RegistrarErnest Jolly, Head PreparatorCarole Jeung, Designer Located in downtown Berkeley, just steps from campus, the museum and research center is home to one of the world's preeminent collections of Jewish art and life.
