Wing Luke Museum Staff Walk Out Over Antisemitism Exhibit

Seattle museum temporarily closes as employees protest the conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism in a new exhibit.

  • Half the museum's staff walked out on the first day of the 'Confronting Hate Together' exhibit.
  • Protesters argue the exhibit frames Palestinian liberation and anti-Zionism as antisemitism.
  • The exhibit, co-sponsored by the Washington State Jewish Historical Society, aims to highlight hate crimes against various communities.
  • Museum officials are in discussions with staff to address their concerns and possibly revise the exhibit.
  • The museum remains closed with no set date for reopening.
