Next Generations Exhibition Opening

Join the JMM for the opening of Next Generations: Turning the Page, an exhibition celebrating the Jewish Museum of Maryland’s Generations magazine, published from 1978 to 2012, which offered 30 issues of insightful stories from more than 180 contributors, amateur and professional writers alike. Covering a wide range of topics, it became a cornerstone for sharing Maryland’s Jewish history and culture. More than a decade after its final issue, we are excited to reopen our transformed museum with an exhibit that reactivates Generations. This reimagined presentation reinterprets select articles through a contemporary lens and shares these stories in fresh, engaging formats, welcoming audiences ranging from longtime supporters (and even former contributors) to those discovering our institution for the first time.

Beyond honoring this treasured publication, the exhibit explores some of its primary themes—migration, nostalgia, and food—through the perspectives of multiple curators. Each theme is brought to life with innovative storytelling that highlights both the enduring and evolving significance of these topics.

Historian and past co-editor of Generations, Deb Weiner, will share a brief history of the publication prior to a panel conversation with the exhibition curators. The panel will be moderated by exhibition Advisor Rebecca Uchill.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage with the Museum’s audio/video production studio.

Kosher light refreshments will be served indoors. Masks are encouraged but not required for this event. Complimentary masks will be available.

Accessibility: The Museum building is wheelchair accessible, including the single-stall and multi-stall bathrooms.

Parking: There is a small, free, City-owned parking lot directly across Lloyd Street from the Museum entrance. There is street parking available in the neighborhood.
