Israel Museum, Jerusalem
It comes as no surprise that a country so diverse and rich in history would be home to so many museums. There is literally a museum to match anyone’s taste in art. From the large Tel Aviv Art Museum that has collections ranging from current artists to ones from the Renaissance, to the Land of Israel (Eretz Israel) Museum that shares its grounds with a Philistine port city dating back 3,000 years, and a host of others in between!
For example, another museum of interest is the Haifa Art Museum, located in the 1869 German Colony’s Templar Town Hall with its emphasis on the Jewish-Muslim-Christian-Druze city. Others of note are the Ralli Museum known for its Spanish Villa architecture and support of budding artists, and the naturally lit Museum of Art Ein Harod that overlooks the Jezreel Valley and Mount Gilboa. And this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to museums!
The Tel Aviv Art Museum
The Tel Aviv Art Museum’s permanent collection is the city’s largest and includes over 20,000 prints and drawings, as well as paintings and sculpture. The collection houses the works of recent Israel artists, Renaissance European art and pieces from the Renaissance, impressionist and modern eras. The Helena Rubenstein Pavilion has both permanent and temporary exhibits and is a remote branch of the museum located in the city center next to the Frederic Mann Auditorium and Habimah Theatre.
