We wish to share the new wave of cultural spaces that emerged in recent years — modern, interactive, and deeply connected to today’s global conversations. From stunning new architecture to cutting-edge technology, these recently opened or reimagined museums redefine how visitors experience Israel’s story.
- ANU – Museum of the Jewish People (Tel Aviv, Reopened 2021)
