Tel Aviv Museum

The Tel Aviv Museum of Art is one of Israel's main art museums, alongside Jerusalem's famous Israel Museum. The TLV museum opened in 1932 by the city's first mayor, Meir Dizengoff. It presents Israeli and foreign artists.

The main building is located in Shaul Hamelech Blvd, right next to the Tel Aviv Opera House and the courthouse complex. The museum is large enough for tourists to spend at least half a day inside.

There's also a 2nd building, called The Helena Rubinstein Pavilion for Contemporary Art. Mrs. Helena Rubinstein donated the funds for this building. This fine museum, located in 6 Tarsat Blvd. opened in 1959. In 1999, a new wing was established along with a sculpture garden, right next to the Habima theater. Note: the Habima theater is going through renovations, and is closed to the public.

The Tel Aviv museum's program offers permanent exhibitions, classical and jazz music, performance arts, lecture series, special events, children's programs, dance, and cinema.
