WELCOME TO THE
Belz Museum of Asian and Judiac Art
WELCOME to the
BELZ MUSEUM of Asian & Judaic Art
The Belz Museum opened in 1998 and was originally three small rooms; over the years, the museum has expanded and now encompasses 14,000 square-feet of exhibition space and nearly 1000 objects.
Originally the private collection of local entrepreneurs, Jack A. Belz, and his wife, Marilyn, most pieces on display were donated by them to the foundation running the museum. The Belz Museum has 3 permanent exhibit galleries: the Main Gallery with Judaic Section, the Tusk Gallery, and the Imperial Retreat Gallery.
The museum is unofficially called “The Jade Museum,” since one of the main materials featured is jade in sculptural form. The main Asian collection features artworks from the Qing Dynasty, the last dynasty of China, which ran from 1644-1911.
The Judaic Section has been updated with new pieces never displayed, including an original work by Mr. Jack Belz. Many of the other pieces were commissioned by Mr. and Mrs. Belz by artists with whom they had a personal relationship.
