An exhibit of artifacts from the David Matlow collection of Theodor Herzl memorabilia, the world’s largest private collection. Herzl founded the Zionist movement and was the visionary for the State of Israel. Matlow said: “Herzl believed that we are not saddled with the conditions in which we find ourselves, that change is possible, and that the future can be better than the present."

The exhibit tells Herzl’s story. How he understood that something new needed to be done to confront antisemitism, and that he was the one to do it. How he didn’t just talk, he acted and put in place the infrastructure of a state in creation. How he knew that the Jewish people needed a symbol to inspire them to work toward the impossible idea of a Jewish state, and he became that symbol. The evidence of all this can be found in three glass cabinets.
