Located in the center of the city’s cultural complex, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art is one of the biggest museums in Israel. The museum houses a comprehensive collection of classical and contemporary art, a sculpture garden and a youth wing. Opened as early as 1932, before the state of Israel was even founded, the museum moved to its current location in 1971 and a sculpture garden was established in 1999. Tel Aviv Museum of Art holds a wide selection of works and offers an interesting representation of Israeli art and culture.
The museum’s collection represents some of the leading artists of the first half of the 20th century and many of the major movements of modern art in this period such as German Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Russian Constructivism, Surrealism, French art and more. The museum’s main emphasis is on Israeli art, but it also has a selection of European art, including paintings of artists such as Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh, Matisse, and Picasso.

The Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art was founded at the beginning of the 1930s, and it grew rapidly from the outset thanks to the addition of entire collections and individual works donated by collectors from around the world. The museum also has an interesting department for photography, as well as design and architecture. Admission: IS42; students IS34; seniors IS21; under 18s free.
