The Jewish Museum is an art and history museum on Museum Mile on Manhattan's Upper East Side, housed in the former Felix M. Warburg mansion, a chateauesque building completed in 1908. Founded in 1904 through a gift to the Jewish Theological Seminary, it opened to the public in 1947 and now holds roughly 30,000 objects spanning religious artifacts, archaeology, and fine art, describing itself as one of the largest museums dedicated to Jewish culture worldwide. In the mid-20th century it became an influential venue for contemporary art, giving early solo exhibitions to artists including Helen Frankenthaler and Kenneth Noland and presenting the landmark 1966 exhibition 'Primary Structures,' which introduced Minimalist sculpture to wide audiences. The museum completed a $14.5 million renovation in October 2025.
