Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage

Dahlia Fisher has served as the Director of External Reations at the Maltz Museum of Jewish History in Beachwood for the past 3 years.  She will give an overview of the Museum and its programs and exhibits including the special exhibition Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  This exhibit was organized by the Skirball Cultural Center, in Los Angeles and will be on view at the Maltz Museum, in Beachwood, Feb. 24 through Aug. 29, 2021. Through archival photographs and documents, historical artifacts, contemporary art, media stations and gallery interactivies, the exhibition explores the American legal system and civil rights movements through the lens of RBG’s personal experiences and public service.  It is being presented locally through the support of PCN Bank.

This is the first-ever exhibition about the trailblazing associate justice. Based on the New York Times bestselling book of the same name and created in partnership with its authors, Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik, the exhibition takes a deeply personal journey through historic change with an entertaining yet rigorous look at the life and work of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG) and the Supreme Court. It also examines her varied roles as a student, life partner, mother, change-making lawyer, judge, women’s rights pioneer and pop culture icon.
