The Art and Artifacts Collection includes paintings, drawings, rare prints, and traditional
and ceremonial art. There are about 3,000 original cataloged art objects. The collection is
particularly strong in items related to the Yiddish theater—among its holdings are 300
costumes, props, and set designs. A number of works in the collection were produced by
Jewish artists incarcerated in ghettos and concentration camps during the Holocaust.
There is also art produced by children in displaced persons (DP) camps.
