Ramat Gan Museum of Israeli Art

We came especially with our children (5½, 3) to see the current exhibition on display, "Tomorrow", featuring digital art (NFT) and video transformations of famous art works. We hesitated on going for some time, as we thought it might be over-hyped and not suitable for our children, even though they regularly engage with fine arts and have visited several art museums in the US, the UK, and Israel. After receiving several recommendations from relatives and friends we decided to give it a chance. We were disappointed, unfortunately, to discover exactly what we thought it would be like. The exhibition was largely under-whelming. The digital art was OK, but it was missing an organizing idea, common theme, a thread. The staff is courteous, but none was available for a chat to help us understand what is it that we see, and the written explanations were brief and non-informative. The other part of the exhibition included great modern artists and their works, transformed so they feel as if they become alive. Sounds good in theory, but the execution is lacking - the videos were pixelated, there was artificial light that reduced their quality, people had to walk in front - and so kept interrupting the experience. And... That's it. There was no attempt to engage the audience, give it some added value, connect the exhibition to future work. It was simply a mix of art works they got permission to present. Clearly no one there makes any intelligent attempt to think about the target audience, or they may be thinking very low of the Israeli crowd. We are not coming back.
