An exhibit opening next week in Krakow’s gothic Old Synagogue (which has housed the Jewish branch of the city’s history museum for more than 50 years) will present a three dimensional reconstruction of the old Jewish quarter, Kazimierz, as it was between the 15th and 17th centuries.
Called “Cracovia Iudaeorum 3D“, it will open June 27, on the eve of the Jewish Culture Festival.
The exhibit will also include objects such as a coin with the image of the head of a bearded Jew in a conical hat, struck by Jewish minter in Cracow in the first half of the thirteenth century, as well as pottery and fragments of Hebrew inscriptions that archeologists found during excavations in Kazimierz.
