Overview
Our client is entering a defining new chapter as it advances plans to create a reimagined, landmark Museum. With a collection of over 35,000 objects, the Museum is planning to transition from a “museum without walls” to create vibrant cultural landmark. At a time of growing division and misunderstanding, its mission—to share under‑told stories of Jewish Britain, challenge prejudice and deepen public understanding—is more important than ever. The new Museum will host bold exhibitions, learning, dialogue and cultural exchange, reaching audiences from across the UK and beyond through innovative partnerships and programming.
