Join Acme for a Trip to New York
The city that never sleeps is an exciting place to visit. You will find Times Square, The Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, and a whole lot of museums in New York's famous Museum Mile. Museum Mile is a stretch along 5th Avenue that features world-class museums and galleries like the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, El Museo del Barrio, the Museum of the City of New York, Museum of Modern Art, and one of our favourites—The Jewish Museum. Are we biased? Maybe, but they carry Acme Animal creations and we want to take a closer look!
The Jewish Museum
You will find The Jewish Museum at 1109 5th Ave at 92nd St in the Warburg Mansion. This incredible museum is one of the first of its kind in the United States and ranks as one of the oldest Jewish museums in the world. The Jewish Museum was founded in 1904, and relocated to the Warburg Mansion in 1947 after the generous donation of the space by Frieda Schiff Warburg. It has gone through several updates and renovations over the years, the most recent being in 1993 which effectively doubled the gallery space.
Today, it contains almost 30,000 artifacts, culturally significant artwork, and media pieces that reflect the Jewish culture and experience, with a constantly changing look and feel to reflect the world we live in and Jewish people's place within it. If you are ever in New York, it is a must-see destination.
Aside from 4,000 years of Jewish history, culture, and beauty, what else will you find inside this incredible space? A fantastic gift shop.
"The Jewish Museum Shop offers the world’s finest selection of Jewish ceremonial objects and products representative of contemporary and traditional Jewish art and culture. Included is an extensive selection of merchandise reflecting the Museum’s current exhibitions and permanent collection, as well as distinctive gifts, Museum reproductions and adaptations, jewelry, books, toys and inspired objects created by artists exclusively for the shop – all relating to Jewish life."
Whether you are looking for items for Rosh Hashanah, Passover, or Hanukkah, gift ideas for a wedding or Bar Mitzvah, or something for your home or life, you can find it in The Jewish Museum Shop. We are please to share that includes several fun menorah handmade by Acme Animal.
We are incredibly honoured that The Jewish Museum carries our quirky Judaica art. In fact, Acme Animal has had a wonderful relationship with the museum for approximately 20 years now. Sue and Don impressed them at a trade show years ago and Nancy continues to provide our fun menorah to them today. Knowing that the sale of our menorah helps to support the mission of the museum, plus brings a smile to many families faces, makes us feel good about what we do.
