The Collection of the Magnes

We invite you to search the holdings of the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life. Please contact us at magnesresearch@berkeley.edu if you have any information or personal connections to share about materials you find in the collection. The Magnes stewards a collection of approximately 60,000 objects and artworks. While the curatorial team is actively working to make all of our holdings accessible to the public, a portion of the collection is currently unavailable online. We will add new records as they become available.
