Wine and beer are an integral part of the socio-cultural
landscape- from the most sacred rituals to everyday use.
Drink and Be Merry: Wine and Beer in Ancient Times
presents 5,000 years of drinking culture in the eastern
Mediterranean and Near East through an engaging display
of artifacts, art and paraphernalia of the trade.
Organized by
the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, this exhibition will complement
The Jewish Museum's rich archaeological offerings and
contextualize two of the oldest known beverages, valued in
those times for their ability to lift spirits, inspire religious fervor,
deaden pain and cure illness.
