Jews. Money. What’s fact? What’s fiction?

Jews, Money, Myth is a major exhibition exploring the role of money in Jewish life. Discover the ideas, myths and stereotypes that link Jews and money over the course of 2000 years.

This exhibition draws together art, film, literature and cultural ephemera from board games and cartoons to costumes and figurines. Follow the
