Tel Aviv Museum of Art is a municipal museum, one of Israel's leading artistic and cultural institutions. The museum comprises various departments: The Department of Israeli Art, which holds a comprehensive collection of local art from the beginning of the 20th century to the present; the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art, which encompasses international works from the mid-19th century to the present; the Department of Prints and Drawings; the Department of Photography; the Department of Architecture and Design; and the Old Masters Department, with art from the 16th to the 19th century. In addition to its extensive program of permanent and changing exhibitions, the museum offers a vibrant selection of programs and activities for adults, youth and children: concerts, classes, lectures, guided tours, workshops, and more. The museum was envisioned and founded in 1932 by the first Mayor of Tel Aviv, Meir Dizengoff, in his private home on Rothschild Boulevard. Since then, it has changed locations and developed significantly. The museum's collection, which originally comprised only a few dozen items, has grown steadily – in great part through generous donations by collectors and artists, and thanks to the dedication and support of the museum's local and international committees and friends. The museum is currently situated in three main buildings: The Helena Rubinstein Pavilion for Contemporary Art, built in the heart of the city in 1959, was the museum's abode for twelve years and today showcases mainly temporary exhibitions; the Main Building on Shaul Hamelech Boulevard, which opened in 1971; and adjacent to it, the new Herta and Paul Amir Building, inaugurated in the Fall of 2011, which doubled the museum's exhibition space. Designed by American architect Preston Scott Cohen, this innovative building is an international landmark at the center of Tel Aviv, Israel’s cultural capital. The museum's extended exhibition space also includes the Lola Beer Ebner Sculpture Garden, and Nata's Garden. The Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Art Education Center, operating from its own building since 1988 and offering a wide variety of art workshops, is also an integral part of the museum.

Loved the architecture of the new building - both the interior and exterior surfaces! The entrance fee is quite expensive but you should give it a try, you won't be disappointed after all. It offers a big amount of art exhibitions, contemporary, modern, a little controversial, classical, impressionist paintings and so on.. Be sure to have a few hours - I would suggest giving it a five hour break as it is massively huge! You have art everywhere around you, in basements, gardens, roofs, windows, ceilings! ACTUALLY EVERYWHERE! Can't you tell that I freaking love the place!? I surely can! Highly recommended for architecture freaks - like myself - art enthusiasts, people with a lot of money - if you wish to give it a try to the restaurant outside (in the inner garden), families with children - the multicoloured surfaces can be an exciting thing for the humans of the future and so on! Please, go give it a try, you won't regret it! P.S. In Israel, culture is something fundamental! Can you please lower the prices of the museums? It cost me a fortune to visit most of them!

It's a good place for person who are interested in arts. They had good collections of Artistic paints, sculptures, decorators/show pieces. For some people's work they ran shows on their histories and how they became famous. If you love arts, u may have to go this place in the morning so you can cover everything by end of the day. There are some restaurants also avilable inside the Musuem. Also they play documentary videos about how differnt countries got freedom, which is about 4 hrs over all.. For some people one day might not be sufficient too. Entry fees of 50shekels was worth spending. Some of the interesting I liked 1.There were some painting done by famous guys for their kids and it was there. 2.How some persons used their creativity in making arts, I learned. 3.local kids were allowed to draw and parents were with the kids and enjoying it. 4. They had kept some painting done by kids in a places, which can motivate some kids. 5.It was more spacious and well maintained place.

My wife and I visited the TA Museum of Art to catch the Yayoi Kusama exhibition which we'd seen our friends enthusiastically posting about in their Facebook feeds recently. While neither of us are big art buffs, it was a great opportunity to do something different and spend some quality time together. Waze kindly directed us to parking right underneath the museum and we were able to quickly find our way to the entrance, walking through a cultural campus which includes The Israel Opera,...
