"'The Sassoons' is an ingenious reconstruction of the lives inside the legends."
Alumni and guests are invited to join AFA for a tour of the exhibition The Sassoons led expert museum staff. The exhibition reveals the fascinating story of a remarkable Jewish family, following four generations from Iraq to India, China, and England. Enjoy over 120 works—paintings, decorative arts, illuminated manuscripts, and Judaica—amassed by family members and borrowed from numerous private and public collections. The Sassoons explores themes such as discrimination, diaspora, colonialism, global trade, and war that not only shaped the history of the family but continue to define our world today.
