Sherwin Miller Ranked Among Top Jewish Museums

Jewish Living Magazine has named Tulsa's Sherwin Miller Museum as one of the top Jewish museums in North America, behind only the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington and the Beth Tzedec Reuben & Helene Dennis Museum in Toronto. 

The Sherwin Miller Museum was ranked higher than other important facilities that preserve and study Judaica in much larger metro areas, such as the Spertus Museum in Chicago, the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, and the Jewish Museum of Florida in Miami. 

"We're pleased with the recognition," said Arthur Feldman, CEO of the Sherwin Miller Museum. "We also agree with the premise of the writers, that Jewish Museums - in general - are 'a lot more approachable than you might remember,' as we are in the process of making sure that our collections here are presented in just that way."

Feldman said he often compares the Sherwin Miller Museum to a successful and popular campaign for Levy's Rye Bread in the 1960s. "You don't have to be Jewish to love Levy's," went the slogan. "That's us. That's the Sherwin Miller Museum," said Feldman. "We want everyone in Tulsa, Oklahoma and around the world to know that there's something for everyone at the Sherwin Miller Museum - regardless of your ethnic background or religious faith."

Jewish Living Magazine, in its March/April, 2008 issue, selected ten of the best Jewish museums from 80 across North America. The Sherwin Miller Museum was ranked number three on that list.

The Eye of the Collector: The Jewish Vision of Sigmund R. Balka

Robert Motherwell Untitled 1967 Lithograph, 28" x 23"

On display February 3 - April 27, 2008 - A Traveling Exhibition created by the Hebrew Union Museum of New York. This exhibition, gathered from the Sigmund Balka Collection of the HUC, "encompasses the expression of European and American artists of the 19th and 20th centuries as they encountered the challenges of modernity." The exhibition includes images of traditional Jewish life and religion while it documents the Jewish quest to make a new home in America and the fate of those caught up in the Holocaust. Featuring works on paper from artists such as Max Beckmann, Ben Shahn, Jacques Lipchitz, Raphael Soyer, Chaim Gross, Leonard Baskin, Will Barnet, Robert Motherwell, and Larry Rivers, the exhibit tells the story of the Jewish journey over the last two centuries.Through its extensive national and international relationships with major museums, the Sherwin Miller Museum is able to bring you the only viewing of this exhibition outside New York City. Opening in the Special Exhibitions Gallery February 3, The Eye of the Collector is an opportunity to experience great works of art rarely exhibited in the Midwest.
