Let Objects Speak

Beit Avi Chai’s Ideas Without Borders presents “Let Objects Speak: Jewish Artifacts in Russian Museums”.
In the first three episodes, the award-winning author Matti Friedman takes us on a rare tour and a glimpse of Jewish history and culture as they appear in the treasures of the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.
Three more episodes focus on the Jewish treasures of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, which have never been publicly displayed. The final episodes tell the story behind three unique objects in the collection of the State Museum of the History of Religion in St. Petersburg.
