The Jewish Museum Virtual Tour: The Hare with Amber Eyes

The Hare with Amber Eyes evokes the story of the Ephrussi family—celebrated in the 2010 memoir and The New York Times bestseller of the same name by Edmund de Waal—and showcases the breadth and depth of their illustrious collection. This exhibition explores the family’s rise to prominence in the first half of the nineteenth century, to the inter-war years, and finally, World War II, when they lost their fortune and collection to Nazi looting. We’ll get a glimpse of Ephrussi’s collections including artworks by Fragonard, Morisot, Monet, Moreau, and Renoir. At the exhibition’s centerpiece is the extraordinary collection of Japanese netsuke, miniature carved sculptures of the Edo Period, hidden by a maid from German officials in her mattress during World War II, and later returned to the family.
