Museum or wedding hall?
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.

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 … Read entire article »

Until February 25 the fire marks are on display at the HerzLilienblum Museum in Tel Aviv, next to fire fighting equipment from the early days of the state. Nice! … Read entire article »
