A miscellaneous collection of beautiful art, which is also the home of the artist. Ilana enjoys exploring the limit between a work of art and an object, and in her hands any object can transform into concrete beauty. The house hosts works of various artists, including several famous ones, and the collection is constantly expanding. It has works of various cultures and eras, paintings as well as sculptures, authentic tribal artifacts as well as creative creations. In addition, the house has two beautiful terraces, from which one can observe Jaffa’s old city, the port, the northern part of Ajami and, of course, the sea. Do note that the elevator does not reach the upper terrace! (The rooftop, also called the sculpture garden). But there is an elevator inside the house, and there is plenty to see anyway. There is also a gift shop, on Louis Pasteur street, which can be accessed through a small staircase inside the museum. It features plenty of beautiful art. Prices are high. To summarize- a nice, small experience in the old city, with refreshing art and a creative breeze.

Very impressive museum located in the historical part of Jaffa, Probably my favorite spot to visit in Old Jaffa. Very interesting collection of masterpieces and curious thing to see. There is also small shop with very nice handmade artist’s jewelry. Such an amazing array of art throughout the most uniquely designed museum I have ever been to. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my time spent there. Profound, unusual, beautiful, mysterious, joyful. One has to experience every floor, culminating on the roof top. From the rooftop the view amazing, and atmosphere of the terrace is incredible. There are many uncountable items in the museum and -because of that- this is not a typical and classical museum. This is more than a museum. I was amazed by the variety of arts from all over the world, the lovely atmosphere and a brilliant exhibition of young artists Nadia Gorenstein & Lior Kesem Hamama.Highly recommended 🙏🙏

Do you want to know how deep this rabbit hole goes? Very unusual and interesting place. Objectively, you can probably give it 4, but emotions and sensations - it's definitely 5. I am quite picky and strict about some types of art(and modern art especially) and really dislike many things that are done objectively badly, but people can shout "wow, this is art!" ...but this place was interesting to me. This house is filled with a little art-chaos and makes you feel a little like Alice from the famous book. My experience in this place was so unusual in my personal feelings. Many of the works were interesting to look at. I definitely did not regret the purchased ticket.

Staff is not welcoming. We came one hour before closing and right at the door we made feel unwelcome as the woman opening the locked door checked the time before letting us in. Inside, there were preparations for some private function in full swing and so staff made us feel as intruders at every opportunity. To top it all up, they closed the roof sculpture garden without any explanation and fobbed us off when we asked why. The works themselves are curious and disturbing in equal measure but overall the experience is hardly worth the price.

Brilliant museum! We had a nice meeting with the wonderful artist Ilana Goor, we had an amazing chat with her and some recommendations from her - what not to miss in that stunning place (the crosses room!) I was amazed by the variety of arts from all over the world, the lovely atmosphere and a brilliant exhibition of young artists Nadia Gorenstein & Lior Kesem Hamama. The roof has astonishing view of the sea and surprising works of art all over. Highly recommended! Will return again in our next visit to Israel. (We came from London, UK)

Очень интересная галерея. Представляет из себя старинный постоялый двор, который перестроили под жилое помещение. С балкона и крыши (у посетителей свободный доступ) открывается красивый вид на море и часть старого города Яффо. Регулярно с мая по октябрь в музее проводятся концерты джазовой музыки. Билет стоит 85 шекелей, в него включена часовая экскурсия (на русском, английском или иврите) и полутора часовой концерт. Я рекомендую начать знакомство музея с такого мероприятия. Просто введите запрос в интернете. Обычный входной билет, без концерта, стоит 30 шекелей для взрослого. В музее представлены скульптуры автором которых является сама Илана Гур, а также скульптуры, картины других художников. Есть так же "африканская комната" в ней собрана коллекция африканских скульптур и предметов культа, привезенных из путешествий. На "кухне" можно увидеть коллекцию стариной кухонной утвари, а также уникальный потолок-"кондиционер". В библиотеке собраны портреты предков Иланы и всё, что связано с её семьёй. Илана Гур действительно живёт в этом доме, когда приезжает в Израиль (я лично её видела и была возможность пообщаться - очень милая и приветливая женщина). При музее есть магазин изделий Иланы Гур. Маленькая фигурка пингвина (сантиметров 6) стоит 450 шекелей. Есть женские украшения (цену не спрашивала). Я выложила малую часть экспонатов из музея, потому что многие предметы нужно видеть в общем пространстве, фотография на телефон не передаст всего. И прошу прощения за качество фото, был резкий свет.
