Dear Visitors:

On July 26, we inaugurate the Museum's renewed campus, following three years of total transformation. Designed by James Carpenter Design Associates, New York, and Efrat-Kowalsky Architects, Tel Aviv, our renewal project features new entry and visitor services; expanded and reorganized collection and exhibition galleries; and a comprehensive reinstallation of our encyclopedic holdings in all three of our curatorial wings-Archaeology, Jewish Art and Life, and the Fine Arts.

Watching this momentous undertaking-the most extensive since the opening of the Museum in 1965-come to fruition has been nothing less than gratifying for all of us, and its success is a tribute to the commitment and energy of the entire Museum community. We thank you, our public, for your patience and support throughout our time of renewal, and we now look forward to welcoming you in the months and years ahead to our beautifully renewed campus and to a full and rich program of exhibitions, special events, and activities.

James S. Snyder
Anne and Jerome Fisher Director

Breaking Ground: Pioneers of Biblical Archaeology

From July 26

This exhibition is a tribute to the first scholars who excavated the Holy Land in the 19th century. They were the first to photograph, draw, and document their work in the field and, in doing so, laid the foundations for modern archaeological research in this region. Photographs, personal objects, drawings, and excavated finds on display show the life and work of the Palestine Exploration Fund envoys and of the three figures considered to be the forefathers of archaeology: Felicien de Saulcy of France, Sir Flinders Petrie of Great Britain, and Conrad Schick of Germany.

In the Temporary Exhibition Gallery, Samuel and Saidye Bronfman Archaeology Wing

 

A Rare Gift: The Noel and Harriette Levine Collection of Photographs

From July 26

In 2008, the Museum received as a gift the collection of photographs of Noel, and Harriette Levine, who are among the early collectors to have recognized the promise of photography as a major art form. Assembled with an impeccable visual and aesthetic logic guided by a highly developed sense of beauty and a quest for perfection, it eventually became one of the world's most significant collections of photographs. This eclectic yet focused collection has never before been exhibited in its entirety.

In the Robert and Rena (Fisch) Lewin Gallery, Mr. and Mrs. Henry R. Kravis Gallery, Edmond and Lily Safra Fine Arts Wing

Artists' Choices: Zvi Goldstein, Susan Hiller, Yinka Shonibare

From July 26

Celebrating the completion of the Israel Museum's renewed campus, three special exhibitions curated by renowned contemporary artists and drawn from the Museum's encyclopedic collections offer a fresh look at its treasures in archaeology, the fine arts, and Jewish art and life. Unique in its scope and character, the project showcases masterpieces from the Museum's holdings and presents dialogues between the collections and the artists themselves, each of whom is also represented in the Museum's contemporary art collection.

In the Bella and Harry Wexner Gallery

Zvi Goldstein: Haunted by Objects

From July 26

The artist brings together over 400 objects-ranging from masterpieces from the collection to everyday objects from the Museum's offices and storerooms-in a dense, floor-to-ceiling installation. Interspersed within this Wunderkabinet-like display are 62 short text-poems from Goldstein's book, Room #205, written following an experience he had hovering between daydream and hallucination. Raising questions about museology and contemporary curatorship, the exhibition features prehistoric goddesses, African masks, and Judaica artifacts side-by-side with Dada readymades and photographs by such artists as Marcel Duchamp, Manuel Alvarez Bravo and Andre Kertesz.

Gallery Talk, Tues, August 17, 7 pm; With exhibition curator artist Zvi Goldstein

In the Bella and Harry Wexner Gallery

Susan Hiller: A Work in Progress

From July 26

Drawing mainly from the Museum's holdings in modern and contemporary art, American-born, London-based artist Susan Hiller has assembled works linked by a web of associative threads that combine to form a rich personal tapestry. Running through the exhibition are such themes as fragmentation, mortality, memory, text, flowers, and the color red. Placing the works in the artist's personal contexts transforms the space into a kind of installation which is the exhibition itself, and draws the visitor into Hiller's labor of imparting new meanings to the works, making us part of her "work in progress."

In the Bella and Harry Wexner Gallery

Yinka Shonibare: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water

From July 26

Raised in Nigeria but born and based in London, Shonibare has chosen over 200 works from the Museum's collections to examine the ways in which cultures influence one another. Grouped according to the four archetypal elements, the objects are linked by associative relationships as well as by the artist's signature focus on cultural hybrids. Four life-size Victorian-era figures, created especially for the exhibition, personify the four elements and reflect the artist's emblematic use of bright, so-called "African" batik fabrics. The resulting installation, juxtaposing objects from the Museum's wide breadth of holdings-from Prehistory to Contemporary Art via Judaica, Islam, and Design-creates surprising and sometimes humoristic encounters between different cultures, epochs, and realms.

In the Bella and Harry Wexner Gallery

Drawing Questions

From July 26

Drawing has an intimacy and immediacy found nowhere else in the fine arts. It is the most direct connection to the artist's thought and work processes - to the miracle of artistic creativity. This exhibition presents drawings from the Museum's collection spanning a broad range of periods and places, and includes works by Paul Klee, Aviva Uri, Avigdor Arikha, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso, displayed according to such themes as Collage, Second Thoughts, Preparatory Drawings, and the Boundaries of Drawing. Other than that, they are neither classified nor interpreted: you are invited to experience them without verbal intervention and to see for yourself what questions they raise. An interactive program at the end of the exhibition offers the opportunity for further exploration and for some possible answers to drawing's questions.

In the Robert and Rena (Fisch) Lewin Gallery, Hildegard and Simon Rothschild Foundation Gallery, Edmond and Lily Safra Fine Arts Wing

Gallery talk (in Hebrew) Tues July 13 7 pm with exhibition curator Hagit Allon; No extra charge; Meet in the exhibition

Still/Moving

From July 26

Featuring 26 works by Carlos Amorales, Olafur Eliasson, Mona Hatoum, Ori Gersht, Aernout Mik, and Bill Viola, among others, Still/Moving showcases the breadth and depth of the Israel Museum's contemporary holdings, as well as its dynamic growth: more than one-third of the works are new acquisitions, and half are displayed here for the first time. The exhibition explores the use of slow and meditative movement in a range of mediums, including installation, video, and photography, and the ways in which movement can modify our perception of space and our experience of individual works of art.

In the Natan Cummings Building for Modern and Contemporary Art

From Goya to Gauguin: A Loan from a Private Collection

From July 26

On loan from a second generation of benefectors from the US, this group of fifteen drawings by important 19th-century artists includes works by the classicist artists J. A. D. Ingres and Theodore Chasseriau, study sheets by Paul Gauguin and Theodore Gericault, drawings by Francisco Goya connected to his series of etchings, a drawing by the French author and painter Victor Hugo, a watercolor landscape by Paul Cezanne, and drawings by Honore Daumier, Antoine-Louis Barye, Eugene Delacroix, and Adolph Menzel

In the Carlo and Gianna Schapira 18th-Century Italian Art Pavilion

Isaac Julien: Western Union, Small Boats, 2007

From July 26

A new acquisition of Isaac Julien's poetic film installation, which conjures the experience of North Africans attempting to escape war and famine by crossing the Mediterranean Sea. In the artist's words, "Many people who seek a better life on their way to Sicily end up having that better life in heaven... They are fallen angels in Walter Benjamin's sense."

In the Focus Gallery

Meijer Jacob de Haan: Portrait of a Woman in a Blue Dress, 1873

From July 26

This exquisite painting was executed by Meijer Jacob de Haan, a Jewish Dutch artist connected to the circles of Gauguin and van Gogh. The painting, which bears the influence of 17th-century Dutch art, was sold after World War II by the family of the artist to its
current owner, and is now on loan at the Museum.

Model of Jerusalem in the Second Temple Period

This 50:1 scale model, covering nearly one acre, evokes ancient Jerusalem at its peak, meticulously recreating its topography and architectural character in 66 CE, the year in which the Great Revolt against the Romans broke out, leading to the destruction of the Temple and the city in the year 70. The model, a Jerusalem cultural landmark, was originally built at the initiative of Holyland Hotel owner Hans Kroch in memory of his son Jacob, who fell in Israel's War of Independence, and it opened on the grounds of the hotel in 1966. In 2006 it was transferred to the Israel Museum campus, and here it offers a concrete illustration of the period documented in the Dead Sea Scrolls, when Rabbinic Judaism took shape and Christianity was born, and makes a striking visual connection to the Shrine of the Book and the symbols of modern Israeli statehood that surround it.

Rebirth (5 mins) documents the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the construction of the Shrine of the Book.

In the Dorot Auditorium; Hebrew with English subtitles and German, Spanish, French, and English simultaneous translation (earphones); A Human Sanctuary and Rebirth are screened on the hour, on weekdays (not holidays)

The Shrine of the Book - Upper Level

The Shrine of the Book is home to the Dead Sea Scrolls, archaeological artifacts from Qumran, and rare medieval manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible. This internationally renowned building was designed by Frederick Kiesler and Armand Bartos, who succeeded in integrating its architectural symbolism and the unique objects it houses to create a sense of the sublime. The upper level of the Shrine contains a permanent exhibition about the daily life of the Judean Desert sect and the ideology that led its members to view themselves as a human sanctuary. At the center of this display are the Dead Sea Scrolls: sectarian texts that present this ideology, together with the oldest biblical manuscripts in existence.

   About the Dead Sea Scrolls

Shrine of the Book - Lower Level
A Wandering Bible: The Aleppo Codex

The amazing story of a codex that was created in Tiberias in the 10th century, traveled to Egypt and then to Syria in the Middle Ages, and returned to Israel in the 1950s. This ancient book, the most authoritative manuscript of the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible, is displayed together with other rare biblical manuscripts and related Jewish and Islamic objects.
