A new art exhibition, Chagall and the Artists of the Russian Jewish Theater, 1919-1949, will be on view on New York’s Jewish Museum, November 9-March 22, and San Francisco’s Contemporary Jewish Museum, April 25-September 7.

The exhibit will feature over 200 works of art and ephemera, many of which have never been shown, including Marc Chagall’s legendary murals for Moscow’s GOSET Theater.
