Open doors at the Jewish History Museum

Activity organized within the "International Museum Day" 2017

Thursday, May 18,
Museu d'Història dels Jueus

International Museum Day is celebrated every year since 1977, on May 18th. The theme chosen for 2017 is "Museums and contested histories: Saying the unspeakable in museums".

The Museum of Jewish History of Girona joins the initiative with Open Doors, from 10 am to 10 pm.

Museums, always at the service of society, become centers of pacifying relations between peoples; because the acceptance of a painful past is a first step to imagine a common future under the sign of reconciliation. When choosing “saying the unspeakable in museums" we can grasp the incomprehensible in the painful past of humanity.

In this frame, we propose visitors to stop in the last rooms on the second floor, where we present a story of pain and resignation, a story so hard to explain that we need poetry.
