JCM’s 4th Floor Planners Meet

Designers and planners met recently on the 4th floor of the Jewish Childrens Museum to put the finishing touches on the plans for the exhibits.

Gershon Eichorn, Museum Director, and Nissen Brenenson, Director of Education, are working closely with project manager and exhibit designer Steve Samuels of Work With Your Brain LLC on the new exhibits.

Discussions are underway with designers about the new Har Sinai exhibit for the fourth floor of the Jewish Children’s Museum. It will be a uniquely interactive exhibit which will feature a sound and light show within the mountain. The audience will sit on a 10ft turntable which will turn throughout the show. Designers from Atomizing Systems are working on creating a special moistureless fog for the exhibit with extraordinary effects to create pillars of fire and clouds that do not dissipate.

The Museum’s fourth floor’s completion is planned for the winter of 2011. The “Tour through Jewish History” exhibition will tell the story of the Jewish People throughout history, beginning with Abraham until today’s age and beyond.

Many more exciting and stimulating exhibits are in the construction stage by exceptional fabricators.

    I was there again recently since visiting when it had just opened and was disappointed that twice or at least once annually the exhibits are not looked over and fixed as with the heavy traffic and many visitors and hands-on activities pieces of exhibits and the like have broken or are very worn out, touch-up painting is desperately needed and many items repaired. I was very surprised this is not done on a regular basis to such a wonderful oasis in Crown Heights. In fact, I thought about bringing a group of tourists and was a bit embarrassed at the state I found it in, such deteriation and didn’t seem to be attended to.
    Looking very much forward to this long awaited new floor but wondering if someone on board of museum can comment on this.

    Thank you
