Many of the elaborate jade sculptures, intricate ivory carvings, period furnishings and textiles have symbolic meanings. Rare minerals, fossils, Russian lacquer boxes and an extensive contemporary Judaic art collection also are showcased. Photographs, testimonials and artifacts from survivors, refugees, and liberators of Holocaust survivors living in Tennessee are on display in the Holocaust Memorial Gallery.
