Ai WeiweiMaybe, Maybe Not

On display for the first time in Israel, works by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, one of the most influential and esteemed members of the international contemporary art scene. Weiwei combines sculpture, photography, video, and large-scale installations in his work. In 2010 his spectacular installation covered the entire floor of the Tate Museum in London with hundreds of tons of sunflower seeds, each one sculpted from porcelain and painted by hand. This installation examines the accelerated production processes which are eradicating traditional Chinese handcrafting and lifestyles, and is among the works on display here. Ai Weiwei was imprisoned without trial in his native China, and his movements were restricted by the government due to his political activism and outspoken stance on human rights and freedom of expression, issues which are central themes in his art. Spread out over a number of the Museum's galleries, Maybe, Maybe Not features powerful and visually captivating works exploring challenges facing contemporary culture.

The Museum acknowledges with gratitude the special initiative of Andrew Cohen, Geneva, and Elan Jaglom, Geneva, in the realization of the exhibition.

Jerusalem in Detail

Based on the research of David Kroyanker, foremost chronicler of Jerusalem architecture, this exhibition focuses on often overlooked but highly symbolic design motifs hidden in the city’s streets and buildings. It enables visitors to hone their observational skills and discover the functional and decorative details that say so much about the many nations, cultures, and ways of life that left their mark over the centuries. The display spotlights Jerusalem’s cosmopolitan visual richness and whets the appetite for further exploration of the city.

Off the RecordWorks from the Nava and Ronnie Dissentshik Collection

This exhibition celebrates an important holding of Israeli art that was gifted to the Museum from the collection of Nava and Ronnie Dissentshik in memory of Shulamit and Arie Dissentshik, who served for many years as editor-in-chief of Maariv. The display in the collection gallery focuses on a key decade, the 1970s, and its leading artistic tendencies: mimimalism, conceptual art, and political engagement. A special section in the adjoining gallery is devoted to works in which the newspaper plays a central role, thematically and also as physical material or surface. Artistic reference to newspapers and their use as readymades raises questions about reproduction versus authenticity. Among the artists featured in the exhibition are: Deganit Berest, Yair Garbuz, Michal Heiman, Raffi Lavie, Joshua Neustein, and Micha Ullman.

Ilit AzoulayNo Thing Dies

Ilit Azoulay’s first solo exhibition in the Israel Museum represents the culmination of her ongoing project exploring the Museum itself. Azoulay interviewed past and present Museum employees, learning how rare objects made their way to the Museum’s collections and how the institution has changed over the years. Inspired by these stories, the artist created large-scale collages comprised of photographs depicting artifacts in the collections and hidden corners of the Museum’s campus, combined with paper, wood, glass, and gold leaf. The result is a series of works shrouded in mystery, breathing life into objects that have not been displayed to the public for many years and imbuing them with a new and contemporary purpose.

In Full Color 60 Years of Design by Dan Reisinger

An extensive survey of the colorful and innovative work of Dan Reisinger. Born in 1934, Reisinger is considered the most prolific Israeli designer of his generation; his significant impact on the development of design in Israel continues to be felt to the present day. This exhibition highlights the wide range of his work in both style and size: from business cards and keychains to buildings and large-scale supergraphics. The designs Reisinger created for private companies as well as public organizations such as the Tel Aviv Municipality, IDF, HaBimah National Theater, and El Al, became integral elements on the Israeli visual landscape. In Full Color examines the origins of these icons and the societal shifts they reflect.

Faces of PowerRoman Gold Coins from the Victor Adda Collection

An astounding collection of 75 gold coins never before displayed to the public, bearing the portraits of Roman Emperors and their wives. These coins offer a rare glimpse into the world of the rulers of the Roman Empire, as well as revealing the great artistic skill involved in their creation and the use of portraiture to reflect a person’s character, mostly as a means of propaganda. The exhibition follows the development of portraits on coinage over a period of 350 years, from the establishment of the Empire to its acceptance of Christianity as its official religion. The slogans on the coins – the majority of which include words relating to victory, security, and peace – display how little propaganda has changed over two thousand years.

License to PaintFrench Academic Art in the 19th Century

The creative lives of many 19th-century French artists followed a similar route, beginning with academic studies, followed by a privileged apprenticeship in Rome, and culminating with the display of their work in the Paris Salon. These artists painted religious and mythological themes as well as portraits and still lifes. Intended primarily to decorate the homes of the bourgeois or the aristocracy, their work followed the Academy of Art’s strict guidelines for defining tasteful art. This exhibition features works by leading artists of the time, including Dominique Ingres, Eugène Delacroix, and Gustave Moreau, whose paintings exemplify the period’s stringent academic standards. As the focus shifted to the Impressionists and their successors, the fame of these artists faded. License to Paint presents a rare opportunity to re-encounter the artistic style which at one time reigned in France.

Cats & Dogs

Are you a cat person or a dog person? Who is truly man’s best friend? Are cats and dogs really natural enemies? This exhibition for the whole family is devoted to pets, as depicted in artworks from antiquity to the present day. Some of these works invite the visitors to play, interact, and even wag their tails. Through a range of artworks, this exhibition offers surprising perspectives on these animals and portrays the deep connections between cats, dogs, and humans in both a critical and humorous light.

Design Matters

The Department of Design and Architecture has amassed a collection of over 10,000 objects – including works from past exhibitions and donor gifts, each reflecting the taste and style of the Department’s curators over the years. Featuring hundreds of these objects, this exhibition illuminates the complex system of decisions, connections, and coincidences behind the collection and emphasizes its variety: from mass-produced consumer products such as iPods to unique objects such as cookie molds from the 1930s designed by Franzisca Baruch; from pieces by renowned designer Ettore Sottsass to works by anonymous designers.

Lyric SuiteWorks on Paper by Robert Motherwell A selection of works on paper by American artist Robert Motherwell (1915–1991), a member of the New York School. The display features six ink drawings on Japanese paper inspired by composer Alban Berg’s work Lyric Suite, alongside a number of prints, all from the Museum collection.

Time to Rejoice: Tishrei Holidays through the Camera Lens

Among the many holidays observed during the Hebrew month of Tishrei are Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. The photographs on display capture rituals and customs of the month’s holidays in different Jewish communities around the world. While some were taken many years ago and portray events of the past, others offer a contemporary take on festive customs as seen by Israeli camera artists today. A film screened in the exhibition presents footage from the Sukkot harvest and water festival at Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan, a tradition celebrated there annually since 1961.

Life into Art: Post-Dada Works from the Collection

While many artists embraced the original principles of the readymade, Marcel Duchamp’s concept acquired a life of its own from the 1960s onwards and was continually redefined. Some artists were drawn to the beauty of found or industrial objects, incorporating them into their assemblages; others merged art and reality in a forceful, sometimes brutal, manner. Featuring works by artists such as Vito Acconci, Louise Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama, Manuel Millares, and Jannis Kounellis, this display illuminates the legacies of the readymade from Arte Povera to contemporary art.

Time Travel: The Story of the Dead Sea Scrolls In this animated children’s film, Alma sets on a wonderful journey through time to discover the incredible story of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Faces Behind the Scrolls

Four of the seven Dead Sea Scrolls – The Great Isaiah Scroll, Community Rule Scroll, Commentary on Habakkuk Scroll, and the Genesis Apocryphon – underwent a long journey from their 1947 discovery by Bedouin shepherds in the Qumran caves to their display in the Shrine of the Book. Who were the people whose lives became entwined with these two-thousand-year-old scrolls through a fascinating chain of events involving discovery, deciphering, photographing, and dramatic acquisition? Rare documents, photographs, and items relating to these key figures are on display in this exhibition, shedding new light on one of the most significant discoveries of the twentieth century.

Ashkelon: A Retrospective30 Years of the Leon Levy Expedition

A wide-ranging selection of marble statues, coins, jewelry, figurines, and pottery are displayed together for the first time in this comprehensive exhibition devoted to ancient Ashkelon, whose history spans 5,000 years. Situated at the crossroads of major land and sea routes, Ashkelon, with its bustling port, was a meeting ground for many peoples and cultures, from Canaanites, Philistines, and Phoenicians to Greeks, Romans, and Crusaders. The artifacts on display were found over the course of two centuries of archaeological excavation, including three decades of intensive investigation by the Leon Levy Expedition. Highlights include a silver calf found in a Canaanite temple adjacent to the oldest arched gate in the world and Egyptian ritual vessels (situlae) from the period of the city’s destruction at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar.

Rockefeller Archaeological Museum

Thousands of artifacts displayed chronologically, ranging from prehistoric times to the Ottoman period, including a 9,000-year-old statue from Jericho, gold jewelry from the Bronze Age, and much more. Forty-eight historical photographs have recently been added to the permanent exhibition, documenting the pioneering work of archaeologists in the region during the first decades of the 20th century.

And Then There Was NanoThe Smallest Bible in the World

This display features a cutting-edge version of the Bible – a gilt silicon nano chip the size of a sugar grain, on which the entire Bible is inscribed. Illustrating the power of nanotechnology, this high-tech miracle was created in the laboratories of Haifa’s Technion Institute by means of a technique recalling stone engraving. The text engraved on the chip needs to be magnified 10,000 times in order to be legible. The exhibition writes a new chapter in the journey of the Book of Books from antiquity to the present – from the 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls to the 21st-century Nano Bible.

Ronit Agassi: The New TenantRonit Agassi interweaves multiple narratives in an installation that is both nostalgic and ominous. Using collage, incision, painting, and treated readymades, she relates to childhood and to the home even though the components of her work – portable plywood panels; toy vehicles; sea and sky; a soldier and a military tent – suggest the impermanence of migration. A parallel narrative involves Agassi’s personal “Three Maries” who have played a role in her life since she was a girl: Marie van Goethem, the model for Degas’s Little Dancer; the scientist Marie Curie; and an unknown Marie who wrote an encrypted letter to her lover. And who is “The New Tenant”? Is it Agassi, as she moves objects that are important to her into Ticho House? Or is it exhibition curator Yona Fischer, who determines where everything must go in this complex space?

InsightIn conjunction with the exhibition, a panel discussion on the curatorial legacy of Yona Fischer and the collaborative process that takes place between artist and curator. With artists Ronit Agassi and Sharon Poliakine, curators Timna Seligman and Irena Gordon, and art historian Dr. Osnat Zukerman Rechter. The evening is part of the Manofim Jerusalem Contemporary Art Festival.

Museum MondaysEnrich the Museum experience with two multidisciplinary series exploring topics inspired by our exhibitions and holdings: An Artist, an Artwork, and a Film Paul Gauguin with Lihi SapirAmedeo Modigliani with Daniella ShalevRené Magritte with Lihi SapirAlberto Giacometti with Yonatan Ullman

Art Ltd. with David IbguiInspired by the work of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, this course looks at the art “industry” over the centuries via artists who addressed social concerns and challenged the establishment. And who is art really aimed at? Is there such a thing as art for art’s sake? And if the clients are the people or the powers-that-be, is art in fact “Limited”?

Classes for All AgesFor art lovers who want to create, studio classes in drawing, painting, sculpture, pottery, photography, and animation. Led by artist-teachers

See. Do. Love. Art

The Association sees as its mission to strengthen the Museum’s relationship with the local community of art, archaeology, and Jewish art patrons. It aims to raise funds for the Museum, engage its members with the Museum’s rich and varied program, and reach out to the public at large.

Among the many activities that members enjoy are exclusive previews of new exhibitions, encounters with Israeli artists, invitations to exhibition openings, visits to private collections in Israel and around the world, and more. Tours abroad have included New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Milan, Rome – and this year Miami.

The yearly activities culminate in a special Gala evening whose proceeds subsidize a free entrance to the Museum and guided tours for soldiers doing compulsory military service and for those doing National Service.

Members may choose one of the following membership options: Friend, Israeli Patron, International Patron, and Guardian.

Please note that 80% of the membership fees are recognized as a tax-deductible donation.

The “Here & Now” Contemporary Israeli Art Acquisitions CommitteeJoin the committee and enjoy the rare opportunity to participate in the purchase of contemporary Israeli art for the Museum’s collections. In the past six years only, the committee has acquired some 100 important works by leading Israeli artists, displayed in the Museum’s galleries. One of the high points of the committee’s yearly activity is a special trip to a central art event abroad – including, in recent years, the Manifesta in St. Petersburg, the Biennale in Venice, Miami, and China.

Please note that all expenses are recognized as a tax-deductible donation.
