Jews in the Los Angeles Mosaic |
Opened Friday, May 10
The Autry in Griffith Park * 4700 Western Heritage Way 
An exhibition
years in the making explores how a growing Jewish community settled, prospered, and helped shape the economy, politics, and culture of a city -- and how the diversity and dynamism of Los Angeles have transformed the local Jewish community for the past 160 years.
Featuring more than 150 stories, documents, objects, and images of family, community, and society, Jews in the Los Angeles Mosaic highlights how the history of Jews in Los Angeles is at once familiar -- one of the many in the cultural mosaic of the city -- and unique.
This groundbreaking exhibition is the story of neighborhoods like Boyle Heights and Fairfax, people like Billy Wilder, Max Factor, and Frank Gehry, and lynchpin industries like the movies and suburban land development.
