Jewish Museum Milwaukee opens doors to visitors with new exhibit

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee Health Department recently updated its health order to allow for limited re-openings of museums. This weekend, Jewish Museum Milwaukee launched its newest exhibit, To Paint is to Live: The Artwork of Erich Lichtblau-Leskly. The exhibit is open to visitors both in-person and online.

Lichtblau-Leskly was a Czech Jewish artist who was imprisoned in Theresienstadt Ghetto during World War II. The story of his, and his artwork’s survival is unique.

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning Brittany Lewis visited the museum for a look at the new exhibit.
