Historic Jewish Atlanta Tours - The High Museum

Experience History at its Source!

SOLD OUT

The tour will explore the Jewish thread in the permanent collection of the High Museum, ranging from biblical themes to featured Jewish artists. A few examples of the pieces that will be viewed are:

The Veiled Rebecca: The High Museum holds one of four copies of this unique piece. The statue appears to be covered in a veil, while made of marble.

A portrait of a dog by Alex Katz

Draco: Created by German artist Anselm Kiefer, Draco is a massive piece measuring 15 ½ by 18 ¼ ft. The piece, like much of Kiefer’s work, is made with one-point perspective, suggesting infinity.


Registration for the event will open a month before the start of the event.

$10 for Breman Museum Members

$18 for Non-Members

This program has been sponsored by a friend of the Breman Museum.
