Arts & Entertainment
It's a small museum located off the beaten path. And when considered against the backdrop of the great museums of the Washington, DC, it may seem a bit inconsequential.
That would be a wrong assumption, by the way. B'nai B'rith's small, eclectic collection includes artwork, outstanding examples of a variety of crafts, and artifacts that extend over about 4 millennia of Jewish history. It also has an active outreach program to educate the local community, and proactively works to recover works of art stolen from European Jews during the Holocaust. I find the folk art and ceremonial pieces to be the most evocative
Given today's high security concerns, appointments are required to visit the museum. Hours are Monday through Thursday, Noon - 3 p.m. For reservations, call (202) 857-6583 or (202) 866-533-6249, or send an e-mail to museum@bnaibrith.org.
PROS: evocative, eclectic collection of Judaica
CONS: small, with limited access
