Curating the past: blood and money in London

Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay explores two exhibitions with which the authors were involved, in order to think through issues around curating and displaying medieval Anglo-Jewry history. The exhibitions were Blood: Uniting & Dividing (5 November 2015–28 February 2016) and Jews, Money, Myth (19 March-17 October 2019) both of which were developed at the Jewish Museum London in collaboration with the Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Anti-semitism at Birkbeck, University of London.
