An anthropological experience of the two daughters of Joseph Bau, a creative man, one of the fathers of graphic design in Israel, a Holocaust survivor with an extraordinary life story. The sisters keep the place and the amazing story they keep alive is worth a visit. Ask questions and note that the story is not over.

Frank Meisler is a unique artist. As a child, little Frank was smuggled ti Britain with some other children whilst their parents and families were brutally murdered in Europe. Frank was raised in England as a Jewish child, refugee... His art is very unique and though some subjects point to joy and happiness, you cab=n see and feel the sarcasm and pain in every and any sculpture of his. Most of his work is connected to Jewish characters, famous people etc...but there is always a hidden hint behind. A n amazing artist and art work . A must have in any and every house and home respecting and appreciating good art.

Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 17 reviews
The Nirit Levav Packer Gallery is a 400-square-meter, raw-yet-refined exhibition space in a historic, Ottoman-era building in Jaffa, Israel. Having been restored to its original splendor during a full transformation process from the historic Khan Hotel and a horse stable, Nirit Levav Packer Gallery showcases the work of the namesake Israeli multidisciplinary artist, ranging from large-scale sculptures of pregnant women and lovable, innate canines to more accessible sculptures, objects and jewelry pieces. The gallery opened in August 2018 with a retrospective exhibition of large-scale, signature sculptures by Levav Packer from her "From Within" and "Unchained" exhibitions, which originally premiered in Israel in 2017.

The sculptures in this gallery are beyond belief. Nirit, the artist, uses so many different kinds of recycled materials to create truly fabulous sculptures. There is a sense of them having their own life, each and every one of them. As a dog lover, I was specially fond of the various adorable canine creations. Beautiful things to see in a beautiful, authentic Jaffa-stone gallery. I am so glad that I stumbled upon this place. I even came back the following day...

We came primarily for the Tel Aviv Crafts and Design Biennale, but the whole museum was lovely. We really appreciated the way the curators integrated many of the contemporary exhibits from the Biennale with relevant portions of the permanent exhibit, which focuses on the Land of Israel. The Biennale itself was fun, with a wide variety of innovative ideas on display. The campus is spacious and nicely landscaped, with exhobit buildings scatered thoughout for a fun indoor-outdoor experience. We visited in the evening so the temperature was pleasant. An added plus: The museum very strictly complies with Ministry of Health regulations around the covid pandemic. They make sure the exhibit halls are not overcrowded, they limit the number of tickets sold, they have alco-gel dispensers stationed throughout the campus. All the necessary logistics were executed intelligently and pleasantly. Two huge thumbs up!

Beit Hatfutsot conveys to the world the fascinating narrative of the Jewish people and the essence of the Jewish culture, faith, purpose and deed while presenting the contribution of world Jewry to humanity.

I had not been to Bet Hatfutsot for over 20 years, but having heard about its remodeling and redefining itself along with the interesting subjects they were exhibiting there, I went to the museum with my Israeli partner, who had never been there. We stayed almost 4 hours, visiting each exhibit, both permanent and temporary. Some of the museum is still under remodeling, but that did not take away one bit of the meaningful, exciting, stimulating and thought-provoking time we had there. It is a MUST SEE place, for Israelis, Jews and non- Jews alike. The children's exhibit should be experienced by all visitors, young and old.The exhibit there is energetic, creative, , fun and informative.The temporary exhibits on Bob Dylan, Ethiopian Jews in Israel and the war photographer, Chim, were curated in a state-of-the art design. But it was the permanent exhibit hall with the reconstructed synagogues and the films and the cartoons showing Jewish history, customs, prayers, dialogue and connection that was the most moving. The courageous and honest depiction of Judiasm both here in Israel and throughout the world as a pluralistic, dynamic and sensitive religion was so refreshing! I have nothing but praise for the Museum, its content and its message.
