Mon 1 Jan. Cabin Fever: Jewish Camping and Jewish Commitment is the JMM's first ever original main gallery exhibition for children and families. Designed to be a hands-on, interactive and atmospheric exhibition, Cabin Fever focuses on summer camps attended by Jewish Marylanders, and explores the impact of camp experiences on identity formation, and particulary on the development of Jewish identity on young people. Cabin Fever will transport visitors from the Museum's urban setting to the rural and rustic settings where most camps exist. 15 Lloyd Street, Baltimore. Lauren Silberman, 410-732-6400 ext. 29.
