Inspired by images of the magnificent wooden synagogues of 18th century Poland–the last of which were destroyed by the Nazis–artists Rick & Laura Brown of Handshouse Studio set out to reconstruct a replica of the stunning, mural-covered Gwozdziec synagogue.
Working with a team of 300 artisans and students from around the world, using only period hand tools and techniques, the Browns finally realized their dream. In 2014, the show-stopping reconstruction was unveiled as the centerpiece of the new POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, in Warsaw.
