Small but excellent
The mission of the SMMJA is to preserve and promote Jewish heritage, culture, history and community through art and education.Through exhibitions and educational programs focusing on Jewish culture, history, religion, and art, the Museum hopes people will come to understand and identify with the Jewish experience. The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art (SMMJA) and its collections have been a part of Tulsa for decades. It began in 1965 when a local synagogue brought a traveling exhibit, “Traditional Ceremonial Art,” from the Jewish Museum in New York to the Tulsa community. It generated great interest in Jewish culture and art, and the following year, the Gershon and Rebecca Fenster Gallery of Jewish Art opened to the public. Sherwin Miller, the first Curator of the Gallery, began collecting Jewish art and artifacts in earnest. In 2000, the Museum was renamed the Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art to recognize the achievements and contributions of its first curator.

This excellent museum has been enlarged
The museum recently opened their expanded Holocaust exhibit. It was very good before and now they have raised it to a new level. There are always other exhibits on display. This place is a great place to spend a few hours. Docents are available for a group.

I learned a lot
This was a very informative place. I learned a lot and had no idea that it was as large as it was. Just when I think I was getting to the end there would be more. Along with seeing stories of The Holocaust there was scrolls and various other items. The price was not expensive at all and I very much appreciate the air conditioning when coming in from the heat.
