Like our physical space, Virtual JMM is dedicated to sharing the history and culture of the Jewish people as it has been experienced and expressed in Wisconsin since the 1840s. Here we tap into our permanent archival collection to tell stories in a unique, engaging way and offer insights about the community that are hard to access within our four walls.
Rather than walking the exhibits, this digital platform provides visitors with an opportunity to revel in the material culture preserved in our archive. Here visitors are invited to learn about the Jewish community through stories of individuals who serve as its representatives.
Themes
Our museum is broadly arranged by theme, and this digital rendering is no different. Begin your exploration of Virtual JMM by selecting a theme.
Each theme page will connect you to people whose lives showcase this thematic aspect of the Jewish experience. Through ‘show and tell’ narratives, our community members will provide a glimpse into their stories and give each visitor a chance to deeply explore some of the artifacts, pictures, and documents that life produces.
