Zim Zoom Family Room

During Museum open hours

ADMISSION: Free with Museum admission

The Zim Zoom Family Room is named for a creation moment in Jewish tradition, the mystically understood tzim tzum—or contraction—that allowed space for creation and light. Join us anytime in this cozy family corner filled with interactive art, activities, and periodic pop-up activities and performances.

current installation: What Makes Me

What Makes Me invites visitors to explore and consider their identity. Using colored yarn, visitors are able to draw visual maps of their self-expression, their heritage, and what fuels their connections, offering a chance to share their dreams, passions, and centers of belonging that are unique to them.
