A UK museum has postponed an exhibition on Jewish life in a seaside town due to “potential risks at a sensitive time,” Britain’s Telegraph reports.
The UK outlet says the Russell-Cotes Museum in Bournemouth had been set to open an exhibition on Jewish life in the town between 1880 and 2020.
When reached for comment by the newspaper, the museum says while the exhibition will not open in November after an assessment of the potential risks, the institution is working to reschedule it.
“Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum is an important heritage asset housing culturally significant art,” the museum says. “In planning all exhibitions, we carefully assess any potential risks. We recognise this is a sensitive time and due to requirements related to this event, the museum has decided to postpone the exhibition and is working with the organisers to reschedule it for a later date.”
The Community Security Trust (CST), a nonprofit providing security protection to British Jews, said in August that antisemitic incidents recorded in the UK neared record levels in first half of 2025.
