In place of the gift shop is a new museum. Wonderfully curated and very interesting the exhibits feature grant participants and part of the extensive Spertus collection.

The 2nd and 7th floors were bare of exhibits when we visited this week. The incredibly lovely Miriam Shabbat artefacts made up for that. Modern takes on ancient symbolism are breathtakingly beautiful....
A landmark museum with very rich collections
I like this place very much and I am totally impressed by the layout and all the open spaces here. It also provides unique etiquette items, household items, accessories, gifts, books, and even some hard-to-find products from top Israeli designers, as well as creative toys and books for children.
The museum is based on the exhibition of contemporary American history and culture. Entering the interior, you can see a lot of art of life, including some Jewish design styles.
The Spertus Museum has a history of nearly a hundred years since it was established. It is mainly a product of Jewish culture. I have to say that the Jewish culture in the United States is very powerful.
The museum is a small place, all exhibited here are Jewish art, which is very worthy of appreciation.
