Current & Upcoming exhibits

Please note that Spertus exhibits are now closed for the summer as we comb through the collections in preparation for a multi-media project on Chicago’s Jewish history, coming this fall.

This fall, Spertus opens a new exhibit exploring Jewish life in the Windy City. View highlights from the rich and varied holdings in the Spertus collection as you discover the secrets of our hometown Jewish history.
