Jack and Marilyn Belz started the Belz Museum of Asian and Judaic Art in the 1990’s when they decided to share much of their massive personal collection with the world. The couple had become enthralled with global art and started the museum to celebrate the legacy of worldwide works of art as well as Asian and Judaic culture. The museum features over 1,000 objects from various time periods and societies including China, Russia, Italy, Israel and many Judaic cultures from around the world. Its exhibits include sculptures, paintings, pottery, photographs and various other cultural artifacts from all around the globe. The Belz also recently introduced a Holocaust Memorial Gallery that provides personal testimonies, photographs and art associated with the Holocaust, as well as in-depth portraits of many survivors. According to the Belz, this gallery is not meant to memorialize the Holocaust as a general event, but rather to introduce visitors to the intimate and personal testimonies of those who suffered and survived its atrocities. The museum is located within walking distance of Beale Street and is also accessible by trolley from downtown Memphis. The entrance fee ranges from $4 for students, $5 for seniors and $6 for adults.

The Belz Museum opened in 1998 and was originally three small rooms; over the years, the museum has expanded and now encompasses 24,000 square-feet of exhibition space and over 1,400 objects. Originally the private collection of local entrepreneur, Jack A. Belz, and his wife, Marilyn, most pieces on display were donated by them to the foundation that runs the museum. The Belz Museum has 5 permanent exhibit galleries: 3 Asian, 1 Judaic, and the Holocaust Memorial Gallery. Special exhibits are brought in semi-annually. The museum is unofficially called “The Jade Museum,” since one of the main materials featured is jade in sculptural form.

This place is a little hidden but totally worth the visit and inexpensive at $6 for adults. It is a private collection and wonderful to see. Just down Main St. on the trolley line.
