Friends of the Magnes | Flowing through Time and Tradition Exhibition Preview

A MAGNES DONOR EVENT

Thank you for supporting the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life.

Please join us for a special Friends of the Magnes viewing and curator-led gallery tours of Flowing through Time and Tradition before our newest exhibition opens to the public.

Exploring the theme of water, the exhibition uses the Magnes’s extensive holdings to examine how this vital element has shaped Jewish lives across centuries. It traces water’s role in sustaining life, building communities, and influencing Jewish identity and spirituality.
