Zooming In: The Inventory Project (Fall 2012)

An exhibition created in collaboration with Jeffrey Shandler (Rutgers University), a leading figure in the study of modern Jewish culture. The Inventory Project centered on Shandler’s research on the creation of “lists” and inventories as a “defining practice of modern Jewish culture, although seldom recognized as such,” and offered an unconventional look at The Magnes Collection’s multidimensional archive, library, and museum holdings.
