Map with directions from Caltrain:

View extraordinary artwork for Russian Jewish theater in the 1920s and 1930s. The exhibit brings to light a period in the early years of the Soviet Union when innovative visual artists, including Marc Chagall, and others joined forces with avant-garde playwrights, actors, and theatrical producers to create a theater experience with mass appeal. Through paintings, costume and set designs, posters, and photos--experience an exhilarating but fleeting moment in the cultural history of the Soviet Union.

Viewers comments. ?Chagall was an extraordinary exhibit! It covered a critical epoch in human, political sociological evolution. The exhibit brought together unique and hard to find artifacts in Chagall's life and role in theatre.???This era reveals so much about the relationship between the Jewish artists and the idealism of early socialism and communism in Russia, as well as the corrosive persistence of anti-Semitism.? ...?The "historical info," particularly the timeline which placed the history of the theaters, Chagall's work in it, lives and deaths of other artists of the era, in context of world events was very moving.???a celebration of an art form, the Yiddish Theater, that was later brought to America and many other places in the world and served to educate immigrants to their heritage.

Note: This exhibit of Chagall will close by Sept. 7
