Gallery Tour | Flowing through Time and Tradition

Stop by the Magnes for a staff-led gallery tour of the new exhibition, Flowing through Time and Tradition.

Exploring the theme of water through the holdings of the Magnes Collection, Flowing through Time and Tradition traces how water flows through and shapes Jewish lives: enacting belief, sustaining life and communities, providing the means for spiritual cleansing, and mapping identities.

Sunday, November 9, 2025 | 1:00 – 1:30 pm

In person at the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, 2121 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA
