I really love this recently renovated place, one of "hidden gems" of Jerusalem, a bit off the beaten touristic track, in the picturesque Talbieh neighborhood. Designed by famous Jerusalemite architect Conrad Schick in 1887, it served as a leper asylum for more than a century, passing between various authorities of the city. When in 70-is there was found treatment for leprosy with time need in such place lessened, it was handed over to the municipality and after the preservation and renovation project was open to the public. Now it serves as the Center for Design, Media and Technology and offers a lot of free activities, exhibitions, conferences and such. Don't miss:

• beautiful garden surrounding the building, have a stroll there or sit on one of the tables with cuppa
• historical exhibition depicting the story of the Hansen House and its prior tenants.
• wooden tower created by Czech architect Martin Reinisch
• "Ofaimme Cafe" of the Ofaimme farm for Sustainable Agriculture
