The closing of the Contemporary Jewish Museum is a response to ongoing financial struggles exacerbated by pandemic-related challenges, representing a broader struggle for many cultural institutions.
During the planned closure, The Museum will thoroughly evaluate its financial framework and engage in intense planning and organizational assessment, aiming to emerge as a more resilient organization.
Kerry King, the museum's executive director, emphasized the necessity of restructuring to ensure future viability, stating that it's better to take steps now rather than wait for options to dwindle.
Museum trustee Tom Kasten highlighted the importance of the CJM, especially in light of rising antisemitism, and expressed confidence that this closure will be viewed as a pivotal chapter in its journey.
