The 120th anniversary of the founding of the Jewish National Fund was chosen to be celebrated at Ben Gurion Airport in a new exhibition called "The Art of Action".

The historic exhibition is spread over 130 meters and is displayed for the enjoyment of those who exit on the avenue leading to Duty Free.

It examines the historical-Zionist chapter in the history of a state through the vision and practice throughout the years of the foundation's existence, as well as through the creation of culture, landscapes and nature that present a look to the future.
