Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art
The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art educates visitors about the Jewish experience in Oklahoma, the United States and the world. Through exhibitions and educational programs on Jewish culture, history, religion and art, the museum works to deepen understanding of the Jewish people, their faith and their history. Sherwin Miller is home to the largest collection of Judaica in the American Southwest, and was named the third best Jewish Museum in the U.S. and Canada by "Jewish Living Magazine."
The Jewish History and Culture collection depicts the 5,000 year history of the Jewish people, from the pre-Canaanite era through the settling of the Jewish communities of Tulsa and the American Southwest. This exhibit includes more than 10,000 archeological pieces, ritual and life cycle objects, ethnographic costumes, synagogue textiles, historical documents and works of fine art.
The Herman and Kate Kaiser Holocaust Exhibition explores the Holocaust in the context of lessons for today through art, artifacts and text. The museum also features the Jewish Genealogical Society of Tulsa/Markovitz Jewish Genealogy Study and Research Center. The National Council of Jewish Women Holocaust Education Center, which joins the Julius and Gertrude Livingston Oklahoma Jewish Archive, is the state repository for documenting Jewish life in Oklahoma and can also be found on site.
