Zim Zoom Family Room

Open during regular Museum business 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.
