Taking place simultaneously throughout the Museum, Dawn ’08 will feature a packed, late-night evening of headlining performances and events AND the opportunity to explore the Museum’s new building and exhibitions before the doors open to the public the following morning.
Dawn ‘08, which coincides with the Jewish Holiday Shavout, celebrates the opening of a new cultural institution in San Francisco in the spirit of the revelation at Mt. Sinai, which is the foundation for much of modern-day Judaism.
