| Abstract | Both the Jewish Museum in New York and the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles were established with a similar mission: to collect, preserve and display Jewish visual culture. This thesis compares and contrasts the collections, exhibitions, programs and patronage of these two institutions, exploring how they each use their collection to interpret the history of the Jewish people and present that history to their public. This thesis also examines how these two distinct narratives intentionally yield two very different publics: The Jewish Museum public is composed primarily of Jews who are interested in their own culture, while the Skirball Cultural Center targets a multi-cultural American public with little or no background in Judaism. |
