Spectacular!East Bay jewel
The Magnes is an amazing place to spend an afternoon exploring, with diverse pieces drawn from Jewish history and culture. Definitely a Bay Area must see!
The Magnes is a far-too-often under-appreciated resource for art and culture in Berkeley. They've fully revitalized an over-forty-year old Museum and taken it to a whole other level. It's an absolute must-see for anyoner already in the Bay Area, and something every tourist should consider taking the time to find.
