The new Mission Statement
of the Jewish Museum HohenemsIn a participatory process with the broad involvement of the Advisory Board, Board of Directors, sponsors, friends of the museum, our employees and experts from the cultural and museum world, we developed a new mission statement for the Jewish Museum Hohenems, which was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 23, 2025.

In Memoriam Uri Tänzer
