The Jewish Museum in Frankfurt.

devoted to the Rothschild exhib-
it," says Johanes Heil, assistant
curator for the museum, who has
been working non-stop as the
opening date gets closer.
To prepare for an exhibition of
this scope, the museum has been
closed since May. When it re-
opens, the entire museum will be
devoted to showing the history of
a Jewish family whose members
started out living in the Juden-
gasse, the Jewish ghetto of
Frankfurt, and then went on to
become one of the most renowned
families in Europe.
The exhibition was deliber-
ately timed for 1994, which is the
250th anniversary of the birth of
Meyer Amschel Rothschild, the
first significant member of the
clan. Born in 1744, he was a coin
collector in the ghetto.
It started with coins — but in
time the Rothschilds headed one
of the world's leading private
banks, with offices in Frankfurt,
London, Paris, Vienna and
Naples. Prominent as bankers,
they also acquired renown as col-
lectors, patrons of the arts and
philanthropists involved with
foundations and cultural activi-
ties.
The public will get dramatic
evidence of just how prominent
the family became when the ex-
hibit opens. "For us, it's a great
occasion," says Mr. Heil, who is

expecting members of the Roth-
schild family from France, Eng-
land and Switzerland to attend.
Among the Rothschilds he's been
in contact with are bankers
Amshel de Rothschild and David
de Rothschild as well as Lord Ja-
cob Rothschild of London.
Prestigious museums on three
continents have cooperated in pro-
viding materials for the exhibition,
which will run until Feb. 27.
Objects are on loan, for exam-
ple, from the Louvre in Paris, the
Kunsthistorisches in Vienna, the
Jewish Museum in New York,
the British Museum, and the Is-
rael Museum.
Other objects will come from
private collections. For instance,
the rare French porcelain made
by Seures is from a Rothschild
collection in Malibu, California;
it will be very carefully trans-
ported to Frankfurt for the ex-
hibition.
It is especially appropriate that
such objects will be on display in
the museum on Untermainkai.
Located on the north bank of the
Main River, the Jewish Museum
was once the Rothschild Palace,
a stately building which hosed
the family's private collection.
It was in 1846 that Mayer Carl
von Rothschild acquired a house
of classical style designed by
Frankfurt's master builder Jo-
hann C. F. Hess. Then in 1894 it
