From its early days, YIVO has used exhibitions to bring the work of scholars and the treasures of its archives and library to the public. Since moving to its new home at the Center for Jewish History in 1999, YIVO has been able to take advantage of a new venue for displaying its collections, the John and Gwen Smart Library Gallery outside the Center's Lillian Goldman Reading Room.

View samples from and read about some of YIVO's current and recent exhibitions and explore examples of artifacts from the Archives and Photographic collections by touring the online galleries listed below.
