I take the liberty of quoting myself from Yelp (gee, I'm turning into the self-referencing academic!):
A fascinating building that now opens the doors to the public. Yesterday and today were previews for members. Managed to get in today with a class mate. It is an amazing place! I can only congratulate on the architectural results!
Of the exhibitions we managed to see two of the major ones today; Jewish life in the Bay Area and the exhibition about Genesis. The first is a powerful description of the diversity in the Jewish community in the area. It is presented in photos, and many artefacts - all from menorahs to pins 'God is coming and is she pissed' or for electing Harvey Milk.
The museum has marketed itself as not planning to have a permanent exhibit, but to be perpetually changing.
It has had a flying start, and I can only hope it will keep up the good work!
