October and November Highlights

Opening Soon

Experience two remarkable exhibitions opening this fall at the Jewish Museum. Starting October 13, explore Mood of the Moment: Gaby Aghion and the House of Chloé, which honors the visionary Jewish entrepreneur Gaby Aghion (1921 – 2014) and her enduring legacy as the founder of the French fashion house Chloé.

On November 17, see Marta Minujín: Arte! Arte! Arte! This groundbreaking exhibition marks the first comprehensive survey of Marta Minujín's work in the United States. Born to a Russian-Jewish family in 1943 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Minujín became a defining force of Latin American art. The exhibition will chart Minujín’s influential career through a range of pioneering, mattress-based soft sculptures; fluorescent large-scale paintings; psychedelic drawings and performances; and vintage film footage.

Museum Admission: $18 Adult, $12 Senior, $8 Student, free for Jewish Museum members

The set will be on view beginning in December at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which jointly owns the finials.
