Museum or wedding hall?

Tel Aviv Museum of Art

The Tel Aviv Museum of Art will host another ‘society‘ wedding on its premises this month. It looks like that the museum-director prof. Mordechai Omer is using the museum the last few month as a private ‘playground’ for his elite-friends. Seven month ago he used the museum for the wedding of Erez Navon, the son of former president Yitzhak Navon (rent for the space was $25.000 ) and this month, January 25th, the wedding will take place of the daughter of Hanina Brandes (law firm Naschitz Brandes). I understand that the museum is using his premises for video-art parties, jazz-concerts e.g.: we are talking about art!! But what has a ‘society’ wedding to do with art? During the last wedding the museum closed its doors to the public hours earlier than usual.

What do you think?
