A spokesperson says---
"...Jewish and Christian sacred art from medieval to early modern Europe into dialogue, illuminating complex, interconnected histories across more than six centuries... features Christian reliquaries on loan from St. Vitus Cathedral... together with Jewish treasures... Through a... presentation of over 160 objects, the exhibition examines shared urban and artistic environments, and the distinct ritual and theological frameworks that shaped sacred art across Central Europe. Highlights include rarely seen medieval Jewish-owned objects from hoards buried during periods of persecution that remained hidden for centuries, as well as Jewish ceremonial works from Bohemia and the Germanic regions, among them Torah ornaments, metalwork, and manuscripts.
... tehillim [Psalms] (2018) by contemporary artist Edmund de Waal, whose work engages interculturally with history, memory, and language. tehillim’s spare composition of ceramic, alabaster, and gold leaf resonates... with surviving fragments from medieval Jewish hoards... engaging with the Book of Psalms as “songs and poems of exile...”
...a series of focused contemporary installations... Featuring artists Hannah Altman and Afruz Amighi, whose work draws on their complex and multi-faceted cultural backgrounds, the presentation dialogues with the historical themes and materiality of the treasures on display from St. Vitus Cathedral and other sources across Europe and the United States..."
