NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

The Children's Galleries for Jewish Culture is a non-religious organization that engages schoolchildren and families in an active, hands-on exploration of history and culture in non-threatening and inclusive ways to benefit the diverse Jewish community and the community at large.

It is home to two hands-on exhibitions with over eighty interactive stations for children ages 5-12. Activities in "From Home to Home: Jewish Immigration to America" include packing small trunks, decoding a new language while shopping at a supermarket, designing a neighborhood and much more.  In "From Tent to Temple: Life in the Ancient Near East," children can learn to weave and spin wool, dress a manikin in ancient clothes, grind wheat, hunt for food with a bow and arrow and try 40 other activities. At any time, visitors are also welcome to visit the art room for additional craft activities.
