L1997.19.1
Description
Judaica at the Smitsonian: Cultural Politics as Cultural Model deals with around 200 objects of Judaica that are housed in the Smithsonian's Institution's National Museum of Natural History. The development of an identifiable Judaica collection within the early Divisions of Oriental Antiquities, Biblical Archaeology, and Historic Religions, beginning in the late nineteenth century, reflects the Smithsonian's quest for both scholarly legitimization and political and public viability.
