The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) proudly announces the inauguration of the Albert and Ethel Herzstein Gallery for Judaica, a landmark event scheduled for December 3, 2023. This initiative positions MFAH among the elite North American museums with dedicated spaces for Judaica, celebrating Jewish heritage and ritual through art. The gallery, enriched by the Albert and Ethel Herzstein Charitable Foundation, will exhibit over two dozen artifacts, including prestigious loans from the Jewish Museum in New York, treasures from Houston's own collections, and recent acquisitions that mark the museum's new focus on Judaica.
