This is something what make us very proud:
Jewish Historical Museum organized the remarkable exhibition entitled "Philatelic Judaica Documents II" and published the corresponding catalogue. The exhibition was displayed from 9th until 16th September 2008. The author was Dr. Mirko Caran. The editor in chief of the exhibition catalogue was Mr. Vojislav Begovic, art historian. Just one month later the Jewish Historical Museum got the bronze medal and Certificate of high quality for its catalogue within the International Philatelic exhibition – Philatelic Literature – organized in Montenegro in October, 2008.
In the Servantes Gallery in Belgrade on the 3rd of April the Jewish Historical Museum opened an exhibition of reproductions taken from the Sephardic Hagada books. Most of displayed reproductions originate from the remarkable Sarajevo Hagada. The exhibition drew attention of wide public and lasted until 15th of May 2008.
The Jewish Historical Museum participated in the exhibition dedicated to Jews of the Backa region (north-west of Serbia) which was successfully organized by the City Museum of Senta. For this exhibition our Museum loaned 23 exhibits from its Judaica collection carefully chosen to represent the Jewish culture and customs of the mentioned region. The exhibition was opened on 26th April and will last until the 30th June, 2008.
A very popular international event called NIGHT OF MUSEUMS 2008, took place on 17th of May and was extremely successful here in Serbia and the city of Belgrade. The Jewish Historical Museum fully participated and was noticed as a very attractive destination. Like all other museums and galleries in the City, our Museum was opened for the visitors from 6 PM till 2AM. As an additional program, we prepared a special video presentation, i.e. movie entitled “The Lost Needle – The Documentary Fantasy With Piercing” dedicated to the Jewish middle class in Belgrade between two world wars and its tragic disapperiance under German occupation in 1941. The author of this remarkable movie was Mr. Nikola Suica, PhD, professor assistant on the Art Faculty of the Belgrade University. Duration of the movie was 8,5 minutes and was shown from 8 PM till the midnight, making a great impression on people. In addition to the movie, the Museum published a catalogue. During the NIGHT, our Museum visited around 5000 to 6000 people … A great number of visitors for the small Museum like ours.
