Good news for everyone who missed art and culture: Seven museums opened today (Tuesday) after the Corona closed under a meticulous outline - Tel Aviv Museum, Eretz Israel Museum, Israel Museum, Madatech Haifa, Glazier Museum, Nahum Gutman Museum of Art and Negev Museum of Art.

This is part of the museum pilot agreed upon by Minister of Culture Hili Trooper and Minister of Health Yuli Edelstein, and in accordance with the approval of the Cabinet.

It should be noted that this is a limited number of all museums.



Minister of Culture Hili Trooper and Tel Aviv-Yafo Mayor Ron Huldai attended the grand opening of the Tel Aviv Museum.

"We are very happy," said Minister Trooper.

"As we promised - first museums are opening. This is the first pulse and there is still a long way to go. There is great thirst, as you can see. This is the most careful, safe and responsible place. I invite all Israelis not only to crowd the malls but also to come to museums. We have no reason for the world of culture not to open up. "

Tel Aviv-Yafo Mayor Ron Huldai added: "The safest institutions during Corona are the cultural institutions.


When you go to the theater you know who is coming, you sit in the distance, everyone with masks and not talking. Museums are very big, people keep their distance and everything is tidy. "There is no reason not to live the cultural life, theaters, concerts and museums. Culture is a real need and also a livelihood for many people."



Tanya Cohen-Uzieli, director of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, said: "We are excited and happy to reopen the museum's gates to the general public and hope that all museums and cultural institutions in Israel will join and open soon. I thank Minister Hili Trooper, who works resolutely and constantly "The opening of culture in Israel. The museum is one of the safest places to visit, and we carefully follow all the guidelines of the Ministry of Health. We invite the public to come and enjoy a selection of wonderful and new exhibitions of Israeli and international art."

In light of the Corona closure and public demand, the museum announced that the exhibition "Jeff Koons: Absolute Value - Works from the Mary Collection and the Mugrabi Contract" will be extended until January 2021. This is the first solo exhibition in Israel by the world-famous American artist.

It opened in March near the beginning of the Corona and closed immediately, except for the period when the museums reopened after the first closure.



In addition, the museum will present two new solo exhibitions that have not yet been exposed to an audience of Israeli artists of different generations.

One is a photography exhibition focusing on modern architecture in the urban space of the artist Eli Singlovsky, winner of the Lauren Prize and Mitchell Presser for a young Israeli photographer, and the other is the first museum exhibition for King Berger, a 94-year-old artist who worked for decades outside the art world.

The exhibitions open alongside solo exhibitions by the artists Tagist Yosef Ron, Michal Helfman and the Russo Foundation and the group exhibition "Saying Love is in the World", featuring individual works prepared by twenty artists especially for their children.

Van Gogh too

The museum's international collections feature masterpieces by huge artists such as Van Gogh, Chagall, Picasso, Modigliani, Monet and Kandinsky.

And in the spirit of these days, the museum also hosts contemporary international exhibitions, including The Future created by Scandinavian artists Almagrin and Dragast, consisting of an emergency staircase, on which sits a self-contained boy and treasures within it the vulnerability of his young age;

The video work "Democracy" by the Polish artist Arthur Zmiewski, which is presented against the background of the large number of civil and political protests in Israel and around the world, and the fact that the Tel Aviv Museum plaza also serves as a site for demonstrations and public gatherings;

And the group exhibition "Mother on a Winter's Night Passes by," which raises topics such as inequality and features works by artists such as Adam Pendanton, Henry Taylor, Jean-Michel Basquiat and others.



The entrance to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art will be allowed in the near future in accordance with government guidelines.

Tickets will be sold to visitors online, admission for children and youth up to the age of 18 and for soldiers - free.
