Jewish Museum Frankfurt, Germany
April 15-19, 2018

Advanced Curatorial Education Programme


The programme had a special focus on Judaica collections that were created in the second half of the 19th century and up until the 1930s as the result of a growing interest in arts and crafts on the one hand, and on the other hand because of the founding of Jewish museums or departments in municipal museums a new collection area (Judaica) came into being.

The Nauheim Collection at our hosting venue the Jewish Museum Frankfurt is an extraordinary large historical collection. It formed the starting point of our next curatorial seminar that explored Judaica production from the late 19th and early 20th century and the formation of these historical collections.

The A-CEP Frankfurt 2018 was open for staff members from AEJM member institutions who work with historical Judaica collections.

The programme included:

workshop on Chanukka lamps from the Nauheim collection (brass and pewter objects), by Eva Atlan (Jewish Museum Frankfurt) and Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek
workshop on conservation issues of metal objects, by restaurator Roman Borkowski
workshop on Posen and Hanau objects, by Michal Friedlander (Jewish Museum Berlin)
study visit to the Weygang Museum in Öhringen
reflection and discussion on how to deal with (historical) fakes and forgeries
presentations by participants
curatorial tour of the Museum Judengasse
visit to the Großmarkthalle Memorial at the European Central Bank
visit to the Börneplatz memorial and the Jewish cemetery Battonstrasse
The Advanced Curatorial Education Programme is a joint project of the AEJM and the Jewish Museum Berlin and is kindly supported by the German Federal Foreign Office.
