Ramat Gan Museum of Israeli Art — Attraction in Ramat Gan

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...

The nice exhibition and shouldn't be compared with others overseas (like VAN GOGH) because then you may be disappointed. Good and kind welcome from the staff. The visit to all the halls takes about 3 hours. In every hall you get headphones (recommend to clean them before use!) but it is also possible without, to hear what's going on, just keep in mind that people bring children who are less interested in the exhibition and they start making noises and running around like playground (it's a shame that there is no consideration and the museum has its hands tied on the issue). Those suffering from certain illnesses keep informed, I didn't find anything written and the staff doesn't really warn. The museum has 3 floors of the exhibition, there is an elevator -disabled friendly- and a staff member who can explain a bit about what you are going to see. Try to buy tickets with discounts from all kinds of clubs, including discounts at credit card companies. We paid NIS 49 a ticket through Isracard. Keep in mind: it's a bit cold due to the air conditioning in one of the halls were the exhibition takes about an hour and a half, so come prepared with clothing. Second, there is an additional NIS 10 for a VR device which is a different experience (I wasn't so impressed). There are full of coffee shops and food around, including a coffee shop on the roof of the...

The current exhibition "Tomorrow" is breathtaking. It's a great way to get familiar with the classic works of art by the classic artists of the last 2 centuries.

You have 2 main huge halls with video art, one is 45 minutes long and the other is 20 or 30. You should plane your visit so you have enough time for both.

In addition you have an NTF room which is nice and the best part (for me) was the VR room with 3 different experience, each is between 10 and 15 min long.

During the week it's not crowded so if you have time, it's better than the...
