Up Close: Jewish Material from the Middle East and North Africa
11/06/2026 12.30-2pm
Explore Jewish craft and adornment from the V&A’s Middle East and North Africa collections at V&A East Storehouse.
Jewish Heritage
Get up close to intricately embroidered textiles from Iraq, silk shoes worn by Moroccan brides, and delicate silver jewellery and protective amulets from Yemen and Algeria. These objects offer glimpses into the everyday lives, ceremonies, and artistic traditions of Jewish communities across continents.
Meet V&A curators and discover the stories these objects hold, from craftsmanship and cultural exchange to migration and memory, and learn more about how they came to be part of the museum’s collection.
This event is presented as part of Jewish Culture Month.
